Free Moral Agents were a collective of musicians brought together by Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, then-keyboardist of The Mars Volta, as a means to expand the sounds of what started as a solo recording project. In the spring of 2006, the band started playing shows around Long Beach and Los Angeles. Free Moral Agents combine elements of jazz, trip-hop, psychedelia, and improvisational rock.
History

In April 2009, Owens released two live tracks for free. In 2010, the group released its 2nd full-length album entitled Control This for Gold Standard Laboratories.
