NOTES:
First of all, that title: is it pronounced
"doom" or "do me"? Either way of saying it
applies to this six-song EP, which is Adult.'s
first release on Thrill Jockey (fear not,
Ersatz Audio fans, Adult. will continue to
release music on their own imprint). Granted,
Adult. has made a cottage industry of crafting
dystopian sounds so chilly and vicious that
they're freakishly alluring -- α la J.G.
Ballard's "Warm Leatherette"-inspiring novel
Crash -- but on D.U.M.E., Adam Lee Miller and
Nicola Kuperus feel less like voyeurs and more
like active participants (or perpetrators) in
their songs' scenarios. This more immediate
feeling can be attributed to the fact that
Miller and Kuperus developed most of
D.U.M.E.'s songs by playing them in concert;
the hissy rhythms, cavernous basslines, and
occasional prickly guitars that dominate the
EP are boiled down to on-the-road simplicity.
The biggest difference from Adult.'s previous
work, though, comes from Kuperus' vocals;
instead of the detached, sometimes disdainful
delivery she normally uses, on D.U.M.E. she
howls like a banshee, to theatrical, and
occasionally hilarious, effect. When Kuperus
sings "dirty double-crosser/don't you know
that's not nice to do?" on "The End," she
sounds like a villain gloating before going in
for the kill. D.U.M.E.'s witchy, heavily
eyelinered approach may appeal more to fans of
bands like Numbers or Ersatz Audio's own
Tamion 12 Inch than admirers of Adult.'s
normally sleek, distant neo-electro, but the
harsh, nervous allure of tracks like "Don't
Talk (Redux)" and "Hold Your Breath" is
undeniable.
