Why Bother ?
(2007, Thrill Jockey Records) USA, Detroit.

Here is ADULT.’s fourth album and probably the most unsane.
The darkest synthesizers are on my favorite song on that record named : Inclined To Vomit. The vocals are terrific and I love the part at 0:36.
Herd Me and R.S.x. make me think of some The Locust or Otto Von Schirach songs.
The mix electro and bass guitar on I Feel Worth When I’m With You is a success and the part at 0:43 kicks ass.
This bass guitar fusion works on Plagued By Fear as well.
A very good album

Gimmie Trouble
(2005, Thrill Jockey Records) USA, Detroit.

Third album by ADULT. and the synthesizers become darker compared to their early albums.
The rhythmbox part in Gimmie Trouble is amazing and I love the vocals in that song.
Then the bass guitar comes in the foreground in the sound of many tracks on that album like in Bad Ideas which remains in head.
I love Strange Mistakes, the vocals are really powerful and I love the dimension added by the bass guitar and the saturated guitar itself.
In the same way Turn Into Fever and Still Waiting are a succesful mix of electro/bass/guitar.
An amazing album.

Anxiety Always
(2003, Ersatz Audio) USA, Detroit.

“Anxiety Always” is the most linear album in ADULT.’s discography, that’s why it is my less favorite one.
Some of the songs are still great like Turn Your Back where the vocals rock.
My favorite song on that album is Blank Eyed, Nose Bleed with amazing soundscapes and a great chorus which remains in mind and a great Finale.
The sequencer in Nothing Of The Kind is really funny.
The artwork is cool and the glued eyelids are disgusting. I like.
For fans.

Resuscitation
(2001, Ersatz Audio) USA, Detroit.

ADULT. is an electro-clash duo from Detroit.
I discovered them randomly with the reissue of “Resuscitation” on vinyl.
That band is amazing, the synthesizers and rhythmboxes by Adam Lee Miller are amazinf like in the amazing Pressure Suit, What an amazing part at 2:47 ! Better than this, the robots are coming at 3:00 genius !
Nicola Kuperus’ vocals are amazing and I do love the vocoder effects, like in Lost Love. In that song, I can’t help throwing myself on the floor and breakdance on the part at 4:13.
New Object‘s riff is amazing and terrific part at 3:16.
Way too many amazing for now.
The high-pitched melody on the synthesizer all along Side-Swiped is charming.
You’ll remind for decades of Skinlike‘s theme.
L’artwork is great and I love the A. design.
A must-have-absolutely-in-your-collection.
