Last time we checked in with Band To Watch Freelance Whales, they were changing up some of their tracks for a studio performance at Grand Street Recording. Now they’ve given Brooklyn duo Aislyn a chance to mix things up. Aislyn is Passion Pit keyboardist Ian Hultquist making soothing, gently percussive pop with his girlfriend Sofia Degli Alessandri. NYC’s recent snowstorms (plus a rare off-tour moment for Hultquist) left Aislyn with some remixing free time. Their “First Floor” renovation wraps the song’s vocals in shimmering glockenspiel, while an analog keyboard rumbles underneath.

Freelance Whales’ Weathervanes is out 4/16 via Frenchkiss/Mom+Pop Records. Aislyn’s self-titled EP is available now through iTunes.
