New Sacred Cow is the debut album by Kenna, released in 2003. Kenna created something of an underground buzz with the release of his first single "Hell Bent" in 2001. The album was leaked to the internet over a year before its final release, as it was delayed by record company politics. "Freetime" was chosen as the single to lead off the release of the album. A video was shot, and appeared sporadically on MTV2 along with the video for "Hell Bent". "Freetime" peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts. In late 2004, "Sunday After You" was remixed by Chad Hugo and released as a single. The single version differs greatly from the album version.

Track listing

  1. "Within Earshot"
  2. "Freetime"
  3. "Man Fading"
  4. "Sunday After You"
  5. "Vexed and Glorious" / "A Better Control"
  6. "Red Man"
  7. "Hell Bent"
  8. "Yeneh Ababa (Rose)"
  9. "War in Me"
  10. "New Sacred Cow"
  11. "I'm Gone"
  12. "Siren"
  13. "Love/Hate Sensation"

On the CD, "Vexed and Glorious" and "A Better Control" are placed on the same track, allegedly due to an editing mistake. Tracks 8, 9, and 13 were produced by Kenna alone, and all others were with Chad Hugo.

Although "New Sacred Cow" was leaked to the internet a year before the actual album's release, the song, "Siren", wasn't available to downloaders until the official release of the album in record stores. Also, the tracks, "Vexed and Glorious" and "A Better Control" were merged into a single mp3 file, as opposed to two separate tracks.

A music video to the stop motion short film More to the song of "Hell Bent" was aired on MTV2 in 2001, and the Toonami Midnight Run. It was created and directed by one of the future directors of Kung Fu Panda, Mark Osbourne.[6]

"Freetime" is used in the TV show CSI.
