Guesses on what the song’s anonymous she and DFA rock upstarts Free Energy have in common: shitty Philadelphia apartments with decent backyards, malt liquor, clothes with fringe, scratched AC/DC records. Free Energy is all in the bass here, though someone (James Murphy/Eric Broucek) added a lot of Cloud One synth bloops. Free Energy walk the line of life changing/totally ignorable, which is the perfect line to walk for a band who used to be called Hockey Night (and, briefly, Dude Bros). The first rule to our band could be your life is making sure the band is the band’s life, and for Free Energy, you know it’s everything.
