Adem - Seconds Are Acorns (2015)

First solo album in 9 years from Adem who was previously in post-rock band Fridge with Kieren Hebden (Four Tet).

On seconds are acorns the theme was, "not to have a theme", says Adem, "and I failed!" These are personal songs, sung with heartfelt candour, with a universal appeal that have the potential to be heard by the broadest audience of Adem's career. "It's the biggest, most confident sounding record I've made yet, and I've brought all the skills I've learned over the years to bear on it," he says. "It's wide and encompassing, but retains that special intimate and personal quality that I try to bring to all my solo releases. I want people to connect with it. There is so much disconnection everywhere, in all our lives. I like that sense of community; the fact that people come together at my gigs and share a personal experience."
