Pitchfork

Best to clean the crud off those loafers now: come May 20, you're gonna be staring at your shoes a lot more than you expect. For that, schmutz-covered sandal-wearer, is the day Baltimore's We Are Free will issue Free Gold!, the new full-length from pedal-happy Indian Jewelry. Sporting 14 feedback-drenched tracks, Free Gold! may not make you rich, but it sure will have you looking at those busted Converse in a new light by the time it's all over.

Interestingly enough, Free Gold! emerges right as the band's U.S. tour-- which launches tomorrow night (April 18)-- comes to a close. Perhaps parading around the country offering folks Free Gold! and then telling them they'll have to pay for it will lead the band into hiding? Or perhaps they'll just add some more dates later.
