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

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
