I've seen things about this band all over the internet lately, and I finally listened to them last night. The verdict? This is one of the best bands to emerge this year. And I base that claim on my taste of two songs.
The Philadelphia based band, which emerged from now-defunct Hockey Night, have been signed to James Murphey (LCD Soundsystem)'s label DFA Records.
Their music is happy in the way that those of us who wish we were hippies can appreciate. It is carefree and fabulous. And damn catchy at that.
They are releasing a limited 350 copies of their debut 7" on Tuesday, for their eponymous song "Free Energy".
"We are young and still alive", their lead singer declares. Honestly, it's reassuring to know that there are bands retaliating against the depressing, monotone shit that hipsters are listening to.
visit the band on MYSPACE, where you can hear a reworking of the Hockey Night song "Dark Trance"
