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!

Last month, Dovecote Records released a debut album from Trevor Giuliani called Subcontrario (In Stereo).
Trevor’s music has been compared to Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens. It’s experimental folk-pop music that soothes ya to the core. Giuliani has been sharing the stage with the likes of Cass McCombs, Papercuts, Richard Buckner, and more.
Check out his song, “Wasting Your Town” by clicking here.
