(PREMIERE) Flimsey Lohan - Freeway Hitter (Single)

When jazz meets hip hop, you get Flimsey Lohan. A true masterpiece in it’s own right, Freeway Hitter will appeal to heads from all walks of hip hop.

Melbourne-based jazz-rap group Flimsey Lohan have just returned with their suave new single ‘Freeway Hitter’ – produced, mixed and mastered at Good Mood Studios

‘Freeway Hitter’ begins with deft hi-hats and soft snare hits that combine with an ethereal layer of electric piano to set the track’s debonair groove. Effortlessly flowing vocals and fanciful bass create a colourful texture heading into the chorus, offering a tasteful splash of the group’s distinct aptitudes as the contrapuntal bridge leads towards a cathartic finale.

Flimsey Lohan talk about the meaning behind ‘Freeway Hitter’:

“We were headed out to pick up some recording gear near Geelong, and on the way, some crew threw a full can of something off an overpass at our car. The can spun through the air in slow motion as we sunk into our seats, bracing for what we thought would be an absolute disaster. But, instead, the can missed the windscreen by an inch and thumped the roof of the car. The song was already kind of written at that point, but maybe it was destiny because now the song is inseparably tied to that memory. Aside from that, the song is kind of about trying to figure out where you’re going and just enjoying the absurd journey we’re all on.”
