The world last heard from Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee
Miller was the Let's Feel Bad
Together EP, which dropped in 2008. Since then, they've been as
busy as ever, but it's been with audio/visual projects, rather than
recorded music — they spent the period 2008-2010 making the
Three Grace(s) triptych, a 113-minute horror film trilogy that's been to
film festivals as far away as Mexico City.
Their choice of the two covers that mark their return to recorded
music are significant ones. "122 Hours of Fear," originally by the
Screamers, sounds like it could have walked straight off the
soundtrack to their own horror movie. "The Screamers are a major
influence for us," Miller says, "and we first performed the song in
February, at our first live show in two years. [The show] was at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit for an opening of works by
Joshua White and Gary Panter, who designed the Screamers' logo.
We thought we'd open our set with a Screamers song and dedicate it
to him. So we did, and he liked it, and it was a really fun evening."
Iconic Detroit techno track "Shari Vari," meanwhile, provides a link to
the band's past,
as well as to their city's cultural heritage — it was originally by
Sterling Jones and Paul Lesley, aka A Number of Names, and as
Miller says, " we remixed it in 2001, [but] we were never satisfied with
our remix, so we decided it would be fun to approach it as a cover
and see if we could figure it out better." The results rather speak for
themselves, with Kuperus' vocals replacing the icy detachment of the
original with a style that's both playful and mildly ominous. Taken
together, the two tracks embody pretty much everything we've loved
about ADULT. — it's great to have them back.
