The Explorers Club are hitting the road in celebration of “Freedom
Wind” criss-crossing North American with Lightspeed Champion and
Flowers Forever. The soundtrack of the summer will be in a town near
you very soon — don’t miss out.

The Explorers Club have also been cooking up some fun before the
release of “Freedom Wind.” Check out their antics on youtube for a
taste. The band has also been trickling out songs to their very own
muxtape page. Visit the link below and you can preview songs from
Freedom Wind. They’ll be posting more songs as the May 20th street
date nears, so keep checking back.

UNCUT FIVE STAR REVIEW:
The Explorers Club
Freedom Wind
A Wilsonian tour de force

Hailing from the wrong coast, the Charleston, South Carolina-based
Explorers Club have done the near impossible, turning an obsession
with everything Beach Boys into an utterly beguiling pop album. The
LP opens with a reverb-drenched wall-of-sound beat, introducing the
instant classic “Forever”, with its creaming four-part harmonies
swaying like palm trees. The following “Honey, I Don’t Know Why”
filters Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue through Big Star’s #1
Record, while “Lost My Head” sails right into Holland’s harbor. It’s
a toss-up whether Jason Brewer’s classically crafted songs or the
spot-on arrangements are more irresistible, as the group recasts
these magical sounds for the 21st century. ***** – Uncut Magazine
