Stream: Freedom Fry, ‘Home’

“Famous or we’ll die trying / Everybody ends up in California,” Freedom Fry sing in “Home,” an ode to their adopted southern California home. The duo’s new single is a beautifully languid acknowledgement of the seductive powers of L.A. – and the latest pop gem from New York-bred Bruce Driscoll and Paris-born Marie Seyrat. After making their mark with their EPs “Let the Games Begin” and “Outlaws” (in 2011 and ’12, respectively), Freedom Fry has released a string of evocative singles featuring sweetly coupled vocals and restrained production. Can a debut LP be far behind? Probably not. Until then, there’s “Home” (and a nifty cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair”) to take to the beach or park. Live the dream, transplants.
