'Love and other planets', the second album from
Adem, sees the London singer-songwriter taking the
rule-book of contemporary folk he helped to write
and systematically pulling it apart page by page.
Upping the ante in terms of sonics and songwriting
ambition, Adem has written a far-reaching and
beautiful record, bound together by a truly
universal concept.
'Love and other planets' sees Adem taking his
music further whilst keeping the intimacy of
'Homesongs'. He has broadened his perspectives to
make a bold record unafraid of taking leaps into
the dark of experimentation yet still keeping his
trademark strong melodies and heartfelt delivery.
With 'Love and other planets' Adem has made a
giant leap for [a] man and a small step for
mankind, to paraphrase someone, somewhere,
sometime.
Adem is a member of Fridge with Sam Jeffers and
Kieran Hebden (the latter of Four Tet). Fridge are
about midway through making their fifth album, a
record which will get finished when everybody gets
a bit of time. Alongside this album, Adem has been
undertaking various production and remix work,
making music for films and organising improvised
live musical happenings under the name Assembly û
of which there is also planned an album later in
the year. Adem organises the occasional
London-based Homefires festival, showcasing
interesting new music to which he's taken a fancy.
