FREE ENERGY
STUCK ON NOTHING
March 9 – Astralwerks/DFA
“I loved making that record. It was so good to record guitars again.I kind of forgot
that I used to be really good at that — recording guitars.” – James Murphy
“…a perfectly tart, semi glammy, Thin Lizzy-style nugget of summery rock’n’roll” – Spin
“It totally fucking rules! Lighters up!” – Rolling Stone
From “Free Energy” to “Dark Trance,” Free Energy has been hinting at their forthcoming debut
full-length album since the Spring. As an early treat, the band released a digital EP in September
featuring two album tracks and a B-side, “Something In Common”. Produced by DFA’s James
Murphy, 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 free download of “Hope Child.”
Opening the album and lead by a simple cowbell, the 70’s inspired self titled track “Free Energy”
will get stuck in your head for days! “All I Know,” a lovesick pop-ballad, highlights the band’s
unique sound seamlessly by incorporating dirty guitar riffs and bongo drums. The beat-driven
repetitive lyrics of “Bang Pop” make for an irresistibly anthemic party song.
“a good-time 1970s rock rip of epic proportions… unbridled and, in
the spirit of things, totally rad (Best New Music)” – Pitchfork
“Free Energy burst with unironic sun-flecked highs – it’s classic rock from
8-track heaven.” – Alternative Press
