Be on the lookout for the upcoming debut album from Free Energy. Produced by DFA’s electronic musician James Murphy of LCD Soundsytem, Free Energy’s release Stuck on Nothing will hopefully please. From what I’ve heard so far, I know I am pleased.
From the press release:
As an early treat, the band released a digital EP in September featuring two album tracks and a B-side, “Something In Common”. Free Energy’s debut full-length album, Stuck On Nothing, will be released digitally on March 9 and physically on May 4 via Astralwerks/DFA Records. The band is embarking on a national tour throughout February and March with Foreign Born. For a preview of the album, check out the “Hope Child” MP3 on Pitchfork here!

The Shins’ frontman James Mercer has teamed up with Danger Mouse to form Broken Bells.
As soon as I heard a sentence similar to that, I immediately had to check out the video for their first single “The High Road.”
You can listen to the song through YouTube above, or you can click here to check out the actual video.
(Album comes out March 9th. Mark your calendars and begin the countdown!)
