Premiere: New Single From Fun While You Wait

Fun While You Wait by Jon Asher
"Yes / No"

Freehold's Fun While You Wait are on the verge of releasing the follow-up to last spring's collection of infectious, ukulele-based pop, Continuity. Of Course is due on September 1st, and we have the first single right here in the form of "Yes / No."

Like much of Continuity, "Yes / No" sounds like what you might get if Neutral Milk Hotel made pop love songs instead of songs about Anne Frank. The lightness of Devon Moore's ukulele is balanced nicely against the rhythm section of Kevin Newcomb (bass) and Keith Leming (drums) as well as Moore's soulful vocals. Bruce Krywinski, Jr. lends some soaring trumpet.

"This is a track about the crippling anxiety that comes with having a crush that you can't hide anymore," says Moore. "That sinking feeling that comes right after you tell them what's up. And the things running through your mind while you wait for their reaction. Ironically, we were all in relationships when we wrote this one."

Give a listen to "Yes / No" and look for Of Course via your favorite music service on September 1st. If you prefer, you can pre-order the EP from the band.

Either way, that will give you two weeks to study up for Fun While You Wait's joint EP release party with their buds in We're Ghosts Now at Asbury Park Yacht Club on September 15th.
