‘Under Control,’ the first single from Freeland’s new artist album demonstrates them soldering club-friendly grooves with raw musical interplay, announced immediately in the martial drums/bass stomp that opens the song.
Featuring frontman Kurt Baumann’s vocals – the haunting, distinctively powerful voice of new discovery who will serve as front man for Freeland’s eponymous new touring band; meanwhile, Spinnerette / Distillers guitarist Tony Bevilacqua ignites incendiary guitar angles as counterpoint to the kinda jaded words. Filled with paranoiac, satirical wordplay and skewed political commentary that complements the futuristic yet dissident sonics, ‘Under Control’ ultimately proves that rarity in club music: an anti-anthem with a brain, yet with beats ballsy enough to crush dance floors in a neighborhood disco near you.
