    .... .. Free Moral Agents is the brainchild of Isaiah Ikey Owens, Grammy Award-winning keyboardist for The Mars Volta & De Facto... .. The Long Beach, CA-based Owens initially started Free Moral Agents as a solo project. It has since expanded into a group effort, a result of Isaiah's decade-long career of collaborations with artists as diverse as El-P, Mastodon, Sublime, Saul Williams, and Z-Trip... .. Free Moral Agents released their debut Everybody's Favorite Weapon on GSL Records in late 2004. With freestyle moments layered over vibrant melodies, heavy beats, and jazzy interludes, Everybody's Favorite Weapon was just the beginning of something that was no longer considered just a side-project... .. While out on the road with the Mars Volta, Isaiah kept thinking of ways to expand Free Moral Agents. In 2006, FMA went from a solo effort to full six-member group and started improvising new material. With the lineup of Mendee Ichikawa (vocals), Reid Kinnet (Rhodes), Jesse Carzello (guitar), Dennis Owens (bass), Ryan Reiff (drums) and Isaiah jumping from keyboard to keyboard, FMA quickly came up with much new music and was in and out of the studio several times in 2007 and 2008... ..

    Hey guys. You guys were in Boston recently (within the past month or so), right? It was with much regret that i had to miss out on that. Hopefully you will come back to visit and share some tunes soon.
    On another note, i really want to purchase your album control this (or any others you might have), but i have to admit i'm not a big fan of the digital download era... i really love to hold the album in hands, look at the artwork or liner notes held within the case... do you have Control This available in CD format, or is there only the download? (i don't mean to sound to picky or snotty... i just enjoy the traditional act of preserving the hard copy of an album).
    Thanks and keep rockin' out!
