Freeman, Greg - I Looked Out (Orange Colour Vinyl)

Greg Freeman - I Looked Out (Orange Colour Vinyl)

When Greg Freeman quietly released his debut album I Looked Out in 2022, it was immediately clear to the small community who heard it that the Vermont songwriter captured something intangibly exciting and distinctly American. Across 10 explosive songs that meld knotty indie rock with pastoral twang, he sings with a zealous urgency of shipwrecks, biblical visions, doomed drifters, dams breaking, and lives left in rearview mirrors. His evocative writing paints a world where revelation or ruin is behind every corner but it always leaves room for hope and human connection. A resoundingly confident LP, it’s a testament to Burlington’s vibrant music community and the pure magic of opening yourself up to creative risks and collaboration.

'I Looked Out' was named "one of the best rock records of this generation" by Paste Magazine and is included in their 25 Best Debut Records of the 2020s roundup feature. After a successful SXSW, where Greg was named one of best acts of 2024 by Rolling Stone, he has toured all over America playing consistently sold out shows in New York, Burlington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, Portland, Seattle and more.
