May 31, 2019 Absolutely Free By Christopher Roberts

Toronto trio Absolutely Free are releasing a new EP, Geneva Freeport, on June 20 via Idée Fixe. Now they have shared another song from it, title track “Geneva Freeport.” Listen below.

According to a press release, the song “details an absurd fantasy about taking a holiday to one of the world’s most notorious high security art storage facilities.”

The band also had this to say in the press release: “Through fantasy and the starkest of realities, this song brings to question the process in which economic value is prescribed to cultural artifacts, how that value is exploited through storing them in high security storage facilities (like the Geneva Freeport) to avoid paying taxes, and how it all seems so antithetical to why most artists create their work in the first place.”

Previously Absolutely Free shared the EP’s first single, “Currency (Extended Mix),” which features U.S. Girls (aka Meghan Remy) and was one of our Songs of the Week.

Absolutely Free haven’t released an album since their 2014-released self-titled debut album, although last November they released the one-off single “Still Life.” The band consists of Moshe Fisher-Rozenberg, Michael Claxton, and Matt King.

May 22-24 - St. John NFLD - Lawnya Vawnya
