Greg Freeman has shared new single entitled “Curtain.” The track is off the Vermont singer/songwriter’s forthcoming album Burnover, available August 22 via Transgressive Records/Canvasback Music. The song is accompanied by a video directed by Carl Elsaesser, and uses repurposed footage from one of Carl’s short films. Describing the track as “a love song of sorts,” Freeman noted its spontaneous feel, sharing that the vocals were likely a first take to preserve a free-flowing, unpolished quality. The song features subtle, quirky touches like barnyard animal sounds, but Freeman credits Cam and Sam’s performances on soprano saxophone and piano as the elements that “really made the song.” “Curtain” follows the previously released single “Point and Shoot.”

Freeman will be playing with This Is Lorelei at NYC’s Knockdown Center on July 19th, followed by a headlining EU tour starting in August, and then will be capping it off with an October U.S. tour supporting Grandaddy.

“Curtain.” Originally demoed as a meandering guitar jam, the track came to life when pianist Sam Atallah tracked a tack-piano take at the studio. His lively leads invigorate the song, especially as Freeman sings lines like, “My thoughts die out slowly on the blood swept plains where I see you every night / And to the lonely hours, it’s like burning the furniture to keep the house bright at night.” Freeman says, “As soon as Sam laid down the piano, we heard the song for what it was and it came alive.”
