Freckle

***When a Freckle pops up, that’s when you know that the sun has gotten through. Don’t let ’em tell you it’s skin damage—more like the sign of time well spent, as always, in the light. Freckle the band’s like that. Freckle is, then, a Californian. Corey Madden, of Color Green, and Ty Segall. From the riff, there was a shared understanding about what they wanted. It made sense to shoot for writing things that weren’t personal—instead, taking ideas and vignettes, turning ’em into back stories and freaking out with the lyrics, making little movies. Once they had a good batch of songs, it wasn’t long. They didn’t push too hard, they didn’t need to. As it came together, everything fell into place real natural-like. Freckle is the hive mind of Corey Madden and Ty Segall. This LP reminds all of us that when the clouds are out you can still get sunburned.
