Indie rock essentials Free Energy are a favorite of mine. Their 2009 debut Stuck On Nothing quickly became an obsession of mine and I’ve never gotten sick of it so naturally I’ve been on the lookout for their followup. They’ve been dangling some teaser tracks in front of our noses for the past few weeks in anticipation of their 2013 sophomore album. So far so good, the new stuff is showing definite promise. Their one of those bands that actually earns their name. It’s actually impossible to be sad listening to their music. I’ve tried. Paul Sprangers has the voice of an angel. Basically, I just really hope that the world doesn’t end before this album comes out.

The Minnesota quartet released this video for their recently released “Electric Fever” a few days ago and it’s nothing but fun. I like when music doesn’t try to prove anything. I think it was filmed in a super shitty carwash. Check it out.
