Free Energy - "Electric Fever"

Borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered '70s anyone? Because Free Energy are serving it up in spades -- and it's a very good thing. Their 2010 debut, Stuck on Nothing -- produced by none other than James Murphy -- was a criminally underrated, hook-filled affair that sounded like a lost gem from AOR-era Rock. And while their follow up, Love Sign, doesn't have a release date just yet, we have our first glimpse of it today via first single "Electric Fever." Like some kind of Frankenstein creation combining all of the catchiest parts of Badfinger, Thin Lizzy and Big Star, "Electric Fever" brings the cowbell, piles on some "whoa-oh" backing vocals, adds some lyrics about dancing all night to your favorite song, and tops it all off with some classic-rock guitar riffage. It's a fist pumpin' good way to spend four minutes. Love Sign was produced by John Angello (Drive-By Truckers, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth). Give "Electric Fever" a listen over at Exclaim -- you'll be glad you did!
