Southern Gothic Singer/Songwriter Adam Faucett To Release It Took The Shape Of A Bird On August 24, 2018
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas, and possessing a voice the Onion A.V. Club warns "knocks your brain into the back of your skull," Adam Faucett has drawn comparisons from Tim Buckley to Cat Power to Otis Redding.

Called "one of the greatest, most thoughtful lyricists the state has to offer," (Arkansas Times), Faucett has again pushed the borders of his "part folk, part blues, part elemental rock stomp, part unidentifiable cosmic holler" (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette) with the release of It Took the Shape of a Bird, a record of his most personal, unbodied, and darkly beautiful songs to date. The album is available on all platforms August 24, 2018 on Last Chance Records.

His fifth solo album, it's also his most personal and heaviest. From opening track "King Snake," it wastes no time immersing the listener into a world of murky storytelling fueled by true, though often skewed, accounts, wherein Faucett's moving, heartrending melodies breathe life into a cast of tragic, historic characters and locales: a World War II-era orphan, Louisiana gris gris girls, a biker's funeral procession, a friend struggling with faith and addiction, and even the Mackay Bennett—the ship which recovered most of the bodies from the Titanic disaster.

Bird delves deep into the spiritual and examines the creation of art, and the artist. Its backdrops are disparate, ranging from rural Arkansas to the dust clouds of deep space. And its moments of lilt are bolder due to its darker turns. Listen to the album here.

Faucett began performing solo in 2006 when the demise of Russellville, Arkansas-based band, Taught the Rabbits, pushed him toward Chicago. He returned to Arkansas in 2007 to record his first solo album, The Great Basking Shark, and began touring nationally. 2008's Show Me Magic, Show Me Out followed, featuring Faucett's band, The Tall Grass, and a relentless tour schedule soon led to shows with Jason Isbell, Damien Jurado and Lucero.

2011 saw the release of More Like A Temple, which received praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Paste Magazine, No Depression and Uprooted Music Review. Temple also gained overseas support, landing at #14 on the EuroAmericana chart and received 5 stars from Altcountry.NL, bringing Adam to Europe for the first time.

2014's Blind Water Finds Blind Water—Faucett's first release with Last Chance Records—was named to American Songwriter's "Top 50 Albums of 2014," and found him back in Europe. In addition, he spent time as international and national tour support for Chuck Ragan, Austin Lucas, King Buzzo, and most recently, Pallbearer.
