Press > AGENT COOPER IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES THE ALBUM “BEGINNERS MIND”

31 Jul 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 20 October 2005 – Beginner's Mind, the sophomore release from Atlanta, Georgia-based Agent Cooper, was six years in the making. It's a whirlwind ride through a string of styles and influences that saw it's genesis during the recording of the first Agent Cooper record in 1998. In the years that followed, singer/songwriter Doug Busbee wrote, and the band recorded and re-recorded, almost two complete albums worth of material; the best of that material became Beginner's Mind. On Beginner's Mind, Agent Cooper has managed to balance catchy hooks with blazing chops. Certainly something for almost everyone on this very solid second release. The band had this to say, “Agent Cooper expresses much excitement about the new signing with Prog Rock Records! To be affiliated with such great talent is an honor, and we hope to help the label as much as I'm sure the label will help us!” “I have to say that this is the most pleasant surprise as a blind submission that I’ve had in a long time, I really loved this CD, I’d never heard of the band before, but I quickly got a hold of Doug Busbee and we turned the contract around in about a day, I’m really looking forward to more people discovering this band like I did.”, Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records said. ”Beginner’s Mind” is the ProgRock Records debut release from Agent Cooper, and can be found at http://www.therecordlabel.net/progressive-rock/agent-cooper/ . This is an album with a lot of melody, musicianship and hooks and should appeal to fans of Rush, Saga, Kansas, Spocks Beard and Echolyn. The album is available for immediate order and shipping.
