More Info:
Over the course of the last two decades, Detroit-based duo Adult. (Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) have released six albums and nineteen EPs and singles across some of our favorite labels: Mute, Ghostly International, Thrill Jockey, Clone Records, Third Man Records, and their own label, the revered Ersatz Audio. The album, This Behavior, began as 23 demos written and recorded in a remote cabin in the woods of Northern Michigan during the dead of winter. In total isolation, and with a reduced amount of gear (a modified version of their live setup) on the cabin's kitchen table, the duo were completely immersed in an incessant inescapable studio of their own making. The result is 10 tracks of uncompromising dark electronics, showcasing Adult.'s return to aggressive and energetic dancefloor mastery. Album opener "This Behavior" alongside the follow-up "Violent Shakes" (which ascends into synths wailing like warning sirens over Kuperus's commanding vocals) set the stage for an on-edge listen, while the heartbreaking "Silent Exchange" unfolds as a beautiful sad synth dirge. "Perversions of Humankind" breaks the mood - driving the listener into a slow and low groove before the frantic album midpoint of "Irregular Pleasure".
