Adult. – This Behavior (Clear Black Swirl VInyl) For Sale

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 .
