Synth Pop / Electronic / Electroclash / Neo-Electro
After spending
years away from music to renovate buildings and make films and visual
artwork, Adult.'s Adam Miller and Nicola Kuperus couldn't have picked a
better time to return. During the years between 2007's Why Bother? and
2013's The Way Things Fall, the kind of dark, spiky, synth-driven sound
they'd been honing since the early 2000s -- back when it was called
electroclash -- finally rose to prominence, making them seem less like
outliers and more like trailblazers. That distinction seems even more
fitting considering that Adult. have moved on from the wild-eyed
noise-punk of their previous album on The Way Things Fall, which wears
its accessibility as boldly as the duo took no prisoners before.
Just how poppy these songs are is sometimes surprising, but in a good
way; just as the dark indie-electro bands that arose in their absence
built on Adult.'s foundations, it feels like Miller and Kuperus are
tipping their hats to the likes of the Felte and Wierd rosters in the
way they emphasize melody. The Way Things Fall is even structured like a
pop album, with its most irresistible songs at the top: the prickly
opener, "Heartbreak," feels like a hookier version of Adult.'s classic
sound, with Kuperus wringing several different meanings out of the
titular chorus; "Idle (Second Thoughts)" is so lush and pretty that it
sounds even more subversive; and "Tonight, We Fall" is the closest thing
the band has written to an anthem, albeit one with love and anguish
holding hands tight in lyrics like "It sticks to you, it sticks to
me/Forever." Adult. also nod to their more purely electro past
throughout the album, particularly on tracks like "New Frustration,"
which echoes their cover of A Number of Names' classic "Shari Vari" in
its hard-hitting beats and sinuous synths, but the most striking thing
about The Way Things Fall is Kuperus' wide-ranging vocals. She's always
been a skilled interpreter, mixing humor, dread, and anger into
seemingly endless permutations, but here she uses that cynical,
questioning persona to explore more emotional terrain, which she does
especially well on "Love Lies," "At the End of It All," and the
pitch-black dirge "A Day Like Forever." The inevitability implied in The
Way Things Fall's title is delivered in its songs: far from sounding
like a concession to anyone or anything, its directness makes this one
of Adult.'s most confident and satisfying albums.
