New York, NY (Top40 Charts) ADULT. have released a chaotic second single "Have I Started at the End" off their forthcoming new album, Perception is/as/of Deception due on Dais Records April 10th. Dance songs for a cultural breakdown... the track successfully maintains the duo's classic EBM signatures and synthesized aggression, while cradled by a repetitive mantra that questions the fragility and frustration of life.
Prolific avant-garde electronic duo ADULT. continue to mine their own unique sound on their triumphant and chilling new album, Perception is/as/of Deception. Conceived and recorded in a temporary blackhole they created by painting their windowless basement entirely black, the duo's sole intention was to deprive their senses, question their perceptions, and witness the resulting ramifications.
With over 23 years and a sprawling discography, (including releases on MUTE, Ghostly Intl, Thrill Jockey, Third Man and more) ADULT.'s Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller have spent their entire career obscuring any defined genre or style. With a history as uncanny as ADULT., the pieces that make up Perception is/as/of Deception might be perceived as their most punk-infused and introspective work to date. The elements of frustration and apprehension that have consistently woven throughout their material are at full mast, although augmented by a strident and more head-on approach.
