Adem to release covers album May 12


Adem at the Cafe du Nord, 3/29/07

Great UK home-spun folkie Adem (formerly bandmates of Kieran Hebdan aka Four Tet in Fridge) has an album that reportedly comes out May 12 but no word from his (former??) record label Domino on that point. Takes is a covers album of songs that Adem has loved from 1991 to 2001. How’s that for a fairly arbitrary theme?

I loved his first album Homesongs immediately and Love and Other Planets started good and has just gotten better over time. I’m pretty excited to hear Takes

NME has a live video of his cover of deus’ “Hotel Lounge”.

He has some UK dates coming up but nothing in the US as of now.

Pre-order it from the UK??
