ADULT. Returns Its Sonic Loathing to the World After Six Years

The Detroit coldwave duo looks to freeze your summer.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You’re way excited about the new Boards of Canada album, the first new music from the duo in 700 years, complete with big, deep mysteries even. But, BoC isn’t the only musical return this spring worth noting. Not too long after BoC released its last bit of music-for-people-to-have-meaningful-sex-to, the Detroit duo ADULT.  was also going relatively quiet, releasing its last record of hate-fuck coldwave music in 2007. Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus, who also run the Ersatz Audio label, are back, finally, with new and improved everything, save for general worldview, which remains the sort of cold that one feels just before going numb.
