Mates of State has confirmed the completion the lineup and itinerary of the Summer Crushes tour, a multi-artist traveling spectacle to take place this June through July. The Summer Crushes tour will coincide with the release of Crushes (The Covers Mixtape), an album consisting of covers of songs by some of the Mates’ personal favorites by artists ranging from Nick Cave to Death Cab For Cutie to Girls, whose “Laura” is now available in its Mates reinterpretation as a free download at MatesofState.com.

Crushes… is the first full album recorded and produced by Mates Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner themselves, with a mixing assist from longtime collaborator Peter Katis (The National, Swell Season, Interpol, etc.). Arguably their most vibrant effort to date, every one of Crushes’ ten tracks is equal measures bold choice and affectionate celebration. The Mars Volta’s brooding psychedelic epic “Son et Lumiere” segues seamlessly into an ever breezier re-interpretation of Belle & Sebastian’s “Sleep the Clock Around,” while Tom Waits’ “Long Way Home” is transformed from a sparse ode to tough luck love into an adrenalized anthem, and so forth.

"Free Energy is one of the best live bands in America. After Friday night’s show at Brooklyn Bowl, I’m ready to call them five of the best people in the world, hands down, and give them any accompanying awards (note to self – check if there is a Rock ‘N’ Roll Noble Prize, award to Free Energy if so), just based on the amount of joy the band brings into the world with its music. Not in a “joy to the world” way, either, but in a “Trans Am going 120 miles an hour while you’re out of your mind on whiskey and weed” way. If there is a heaven, Free Energy will be the house band." -NY Press
