We Are Freeways

We Are Freeways
We Are Freeways' album

We Are Freeways describe themselves as a '"living room", low fidelity, indie band', and if their meaning is lost on you, it's because you haven't heard the songs yet.

In short what being a '"living room", low fidelity, indie band' means, is that you produce the songs yourself, in your living room and they are beautifully composed laid back treats, each and every one.

Crystal Dennise Flores and Joshua Sanchez


The band, hailing from Denton, Texas, have mastered the art of easy listening, but manage to fill each track with their own distinctive sound. Falling somewhere between a band and an acapella group, the band use looping vocal rhythms in place of things like percussion and bass, giving them a great striped back sound, that goes a little bit like this…
 
'Let’s Grow Young' is a perfect example of the bands unique sound, the heavily layered, looping sounds of the duo's vocals build from a simple melody that wouldn’t turn a head to a simmering, bubbling, complex tune that it is impossible not to tap along too.

The quirky idea of lo-fi looping of vocals to build songs is enough to make a band stand out from the crowd, but We Are Freeways have much more to offer, as ‘TV Loves Reality’ shows, the band are also capable of pretty poignant and well written songs.
 
‘TV Loves Reality’ boasts some of the most intelligent and humorous lyrics I have heard in a long time…

‘Secrets tweeting/ Birds and doors/ Tweeting secrets at their paws / Hash-tag they hate you/ Quote never more’

With a unique and instantly identifiable sound, intelligent lyrics and endlessly re-listenable songs We Are Freeways are a band to watch out for.
