‘Takes’
(Domino)
A covers album of Adem’s favourite songs as a yoof from 1991 to 2001, every note on ‘Takes’ is sung and played acoustically by Adem himself, displaying an intimate knowledge and understanding of the tracks which informed his future career. Covers range from Aphex Twin to PJ Harvey, from Bedhead to Bjork, unearthing what must be an eclectic and healthy record collection. This is an enjoyable trip into the inner world of Adem’s mind, like a private invite into his bedroom to play you his favourite songs.
