Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.
Linger
Freedom Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

I love all of your covers... this had never been one of my favorite songs, but you've made me want to listen again! I'd love to hear you take on an 80's song. I think you'd smash "together in electric dreams"
