: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Adult Books is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based writer and :,
: multi-instrumentalist Nick Winfrey. With the help of childhood :
:' friends Sina Salessi (drums) and Alex Galindo (guitar/synth), ':
,: Winfrey crafts lyric-driven dark pop gems that recall the :,
: hook-heavy guitar work of Johnny Marr, the just-below-the-collar :
:' angst of Mission of Burma, and the doomsday bellow of early ':
,: Echo and the Bunnymen. :,
: :
:' After a well-received string of bedroom demos and cassettes, ':
,: Adult Books released their first full-length album, Running from :,
: the Blows , in 2016, trading in their previous home-recorded :
:' sounds for a cleaned-up act that allowed WinfreyÆs pop savvy ':
,: and understated lyrical wit to shine through. Two years of heavy :,
: touring followed, after which Winfrey found himself both burned :
:' out and uninspired by the business of music. ':
,: :,
: Following a much-needed hiatus, Adult Books is finally ready to :
:' share their sophomore LP, Grecian Urn . Recorded with Jonny ':
,: Bell (Crystal Antlers) and mastered by Dave Cooley (Animal :,
: Collective, J Dilla) , Grecian Urn was crafted over the course :
:' of nearly two years; however, the seeds of the album were sown ':
,: more than a decade earlier. When sitting down to write Grecian :,
: Urn , Winfrey revisited old demos, forgotten voice memos and :
:' unfinished fragments of songs to create something wholly new. ':
,: :,
: The end result is a self-assured and intensely personal album :
:' that places WinfreyÆs evocative images and economic ':
,: storytelling approach front and center. A loose concept album of :,
: sorts, Grecian Urn draws on classical Mediterranean imagery and :
:' mythos as a means of exploring WinfreyÆs past traumas and ':
,: struggles with chronic anxiety. :,
