Free Energy

I have fallen in love with these Philly-based boys and their band, "Free Energy."  James Murphy may have produced their debut album, but they don't sound like most DFA bands (don't get me wrong, I love the DFA artists, but these guys are different -- they're guitar-based and lack turntables, for one).  Still, the spirit is the same: JUBILANT! It's awesome! Their lead-in single is the band's namesake ("Free Energy"), which is usually a warning sign, but their album, Stuck on Nothing, proved that the guys have plenty of equally rad material! 


Note: they will be in London May 17 at Monto Water Rats.
