TOMORROW’S TULIPS

After the breakup of Minnesota indie band Hockey Night, frontman Paul Sprangers and guitarist Scott Wells formed Free Energy. Now based in Philadelphia, Free Energy take the blithe, hooky classic rock of groups like Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, and Tom Petty as their jumping-off point. After recording a few demos, the duo recruited a full band and hooked up with– of all labels– the uber-hip NYC dance powerhouse DFA.

DFA honcho and LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy produced “Dream City”, Free Energy’s joyous sugar-rush of a debut track. “Dream City”, which we designated a Best New Track, is the last thing you’d expect from DFA. It’s a total car radio summer jam, a chugging singalong that could make a hell of a sitcom theme (a good thing!). – Pitchfork
