Search - Barry Adamson :: I Will Set You Free

Thirty-four years on from the first album he played
on Magazine s seminal post-punk classic Real
Life comes an album that touches on the sonic
stepping stones Barry Adamson used to pave his
way to now, and his sparkling new album I Will
Set You Free.
This album was directly informed by the lessons
learned during Adamson s long musical career:
memories of performing with Magazine, The Bad
Seeds, Iggy Pop, and The Gun Club; writing for
David Lynch and Danny Boyle; being nominated for
the Mercury Prize; scoring an Olivier Award-winning
ballet; scooping the Best Short Story gong at Italy s
Piemonte Noir festival; and directing a film while
simultaneously heading back to grace the stage
with a reformed Magazine during their triumphant
2009 tour...
All of this has colored I Will Set You Free with a
steady, sure-handed vibe that permeates every
track, from the swagger and fingertip fire of rock
numbers Get Your Mind Right, Destination, and
The Sun and The Sea to the emotive, yearning
noir ballad If You Love Her and the new-wave
power pop of Turnaround.
