Freeland U.S. and U.K. Tour Dates, Releases ‘Cope’ 6-9

Upon relocating from Brighton, England to sunny Silverlake in LA, Adam Freeland initiated the creation of what many would argue as a departure album, yet he considers it simply another color in his already impressive and large musical palette. Instead of his usual break-beat electro approach he’s so famously renowned for, Freeland has put together the ultimate hybrid album, showcasing the roots of electronic music that he helped pioneer and the elements of rock music that he found most interesting and is inspired by.

Freeland ‘Do You’ UK Live Tour Video from Freeland on Vimeo.

Co-produced by one of the UK’s rising new stars of the electronic world Alex Metric (Autokratz, Locarnos, Ladyhawke, Hard-Fi), and mixed by South Rukkas Crew and Uberzone. COPE(TM) also features collaborations with such luminaries of the rock world such as Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Twiggy Ramirez (NIN, Marilyn Manson), Jerry Casale (DEVO) and Brody Dalle (Distillers/Spinnerette).

Indeed, psychedelic drone rock redolent of Freeland’s move from his native U.K. to the California desert reverberates throughout’Cope(TM)’, from the swirling shoegaze of ‘Silent Speaking’(written and performed with Brooklyn Pitchfork faves SoundPool) to the heart wrenching, Sigur Ros-like ‘Mancry’.

In this short video clip Adam Freeland invites the viewer into his home and offers insight into the origins of the track “Do You” and a video chat with drummer Tommy Lee.
