Bergen's own Electric High have returned, and they mean serious business, filling the airwaves with "Free To Go", a thunderous title track of their forthcoming second album.
"Free To Go" kicks into high gear with unbridled adrenaline, a rush of freedom, and forward momentum. It's a sense of urgency in every riff, every beat, every shout that lets you know Electric High aren't playing rock' n' roll so much as they are living it in the moment. The track's production sounds like pockets of impulsive and, like the album itself, was written, rehearsed, and recorded at a breakneck blur.
If "Colorful White Lies" provided a window into the band's formative stages and layered maturity,' Free To Go" tears through the speakers with the reckless assurance of a band that knows exactly who they are. It's fresh, it's fiery, and it is alive with that inimitable Electric High energy, the kind of swagger that makes you want to crank the windows down, turn the volume up, and lose yourself.
"Free To Go" sees Electric High reaffirm their position as one of Norway's most promising rock exports. It's a statement track, brassy, unapologetic, full of verve, and it announces that this next phase of life is all about momentum and freedom. If this song is any indication, its follow-up sounds like it will be a wild ride from front to back.
