  • Adam Freeland goes rock image
  • Grammy nominated producer Adam Freeland will unveil his newest full-length in June under a new moniker, Freeland. Freeland, who is perhaps best known for his nu skool breakbeat sound, has sliced off his first name from the project as an acknowledgement that Cope™ is a new beast: a full band project. The album, which sees Freeland acting as producer for the likes of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago and Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez along the way, features Kurt Baumann fronting Freeland and singing on a variety of tracks throughout. Says Freeland, "I've always mixed rock into my sets anyway, so having a band is just a natural progression from that. Freeland has all the hard-hitting grooves of my DJ sets, but played live they're even more raw, personal and in your face. This is the sound I’ve always heard in my head, so now I want to hear it as loud as possible!" Tracklist 01. Do You! 02. Under Control 03. Strange Things 04. Bring It 05. Mancry 06. Borderline 07. Rock On 08. Silent Speaking 09. Best Fish Tacos in Encinada 10. Only a Fool Can Die 11. Morning Sun 12. Wish I Was Here Marine Parade will release Adam Freeland's Cope™ on June 9, 2009.
