How do you top a seven-minute single? With a nine-minute B-side. Toronto astral-rock quartet Absolutely Free’s latest missive for Lefse out October 29, “On the Beach” (not a Neil Young cover), may showcase their ever-evolving facility for grandiose, percussive psychedelic pop, but the flip, “Clothed Woman, Sitting” is even more audacious. It’s like an entire day condensed into 12 inches: pulsating analog-synth tones summon the first rays of the morning while an emergent motorik bedtrack mimics the daydream-inducing locomotive hum of a subway commute downtown, before a calamitous, machine-gunned climax rudely thrusts us into the concrete-encased chaos of the urban jungle. But rather than lock you into the grind of your daily routine, singer/drummer Matt King offers a means of escape: “The present circumstance/ You can change it/ you’re absolutely free”-- a charitable gesture of self-promotion-as-self-help.
