ADULT.: ‘The DECAMPMENT TRILOGY’

adult ADULT.: The DECAMPMENT TRILOGY

With the go ahead from ADULT.’s Adam Lee Miller to post this, here is the latest news on ‘Detroit’s undying isolationists’, taken from their website, Adultperiod.com

PART I:
Adult. will be premiering their new silent-experimental-short-horror film DECAMPMENT May 9, 2008 at 7:00pm and 8:30pm at the Detroit Institute of Arts accompanied by their own peculiar electronic horror music especially scored for the film. DECAMPMENT was written, produced and directed by ADULT. in early 2008 and follows a women’s transmigration from her “normal” life into a new society of deceit. Filmed entirely in Michigan, DECAMPMENT explores ADULT.’s obsession with an often overlooked and distinctive aesthetic that they call “midwestern horror”. The all new soundtrack will be performed live by ADULT. during the screening of the film and will be a mutation of instrumental film music and more ADULT.-like irregularities.

PART II:
ADULT. will be releasing their first new release in over a year. The DECAMPMENT TRILOGY is an extremely limited 7″ series to be released on ERSATZ AUDIO. Three 7″s -each strictly limited to 100 copies- will tell the story of DECAMPMENT through music, lyrics and photographs. Each hand numbered 7″ will come in a full color jacket along with a limited 16″ x 20″ photographic print from Nicola Kuperus signed and numbered. Collect the entire 7″ trilogy to piece together the narrative of DECAMPMENT, plus own the limited edition 7″s and the Kuperus Triptych available ONLY through the ADULT. One 7″ will be released each month starting May 13th. More info coming soon concerning this project.

numberofnames A Number Of Names   Shari Vari

A Number Of Names are credited with creating one of the first Detroit techno songs, ever. in 1981 Sterling Jones and Paul Lesley’s track ‘Shari Vari’ was an underground classic & still is now. Many of todays electro/techno makers recognize the importance of this track. Detroit natives ADULT., Ectomorph & members of the International Deejay Gigolo family have all created remixes of this underground gem.

YouTube has a video from 1982 of folks getting down to this number. Study it and go show them fools at the club what’s really good.

A sealed original copy of this 1981 12inch goes for 2 hundo on gemm! If you’re not that ballerific you can pick up re-issues for a tad cheaper on ebay. Right now there’s one going for $13.99. & Puzzlebox records released a 12 track remix cd in 2002. There’s a used one on ebizzle going for 3 bones.

ADULT.

I was looking at the archives the other day & I thought to myself ‘why the hell haven’t you posted ADULT. yet’?! The answer: Probably because any grammatically incorrect/misspelled write up I could muster would never really convey just how much I love this group. From the first time I heard them they changed the way I view, listen & create music.

Punk rock in it’s purest form stays as far away from ‘electronic music’ as possible but this Detroit husband & wife duo creates electronic music fused with undeniable punk rock aesthetic. This may not seem so ground breaking anymore, but when ADULT. started making music in 1998 under the moniker ‘Plasma Co.’, it definitely was.

You may find ADULT. in your local record store under ‘electro clash’ or even ‘nu-electro’, but they should be filed under ‘Pioneers’.

ADULT. – Glue Your Eyelids Together
ADULT. – Don’t Talk (Redux)

ADULT. has a new album titled “Why Bother?” which will be released March 20th on THRILL JOCKEY. You can buy their 2005 album ‘Gimme Trouble’ here. Stream more ADULT. songs via their Myspace.

Cobra Killer – Mund Auf – Augen Zu (Stecker Raus, Ich Dreh’ Durch)

cobrakiller1 Cobra Killer   Mund Auf   Augen Zu (Stecker Raus, Ich Dreh Durch)
Loosely translated it means ‘Mouth on – eyes to (connector out, I turn through)’. Whatever the hell that means. It doesn’t matter. Cobra Killer songs don’t need to make sense & haven’t really since their inception in 1998. ‘Mund Auf’ is off their album ‘76/77′ which was the follow up to 2002’s ‘Third Armpit’.

For fans of ADULT., Chicks On Speed, Sir Alice & Crossover.
