Our Take

Grecian Urnin, the latest offering from ADULT BOOKS, feels like a whirlwind trip through the quirkiest corners of British English. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where angular guitars and deadpan vocals collide in a glorious cacophony of sound.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Nihilism For Beginners," a track that sets the tone for what's to come. The band's influences are clear - echoes of post-punk legends like Gang of Four and Wire reverberate throughout the record, but ADULT BOOKS manage to put their own unique spin on the formula.

Tracks like "Dead Language" and "Blinking Lights" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks that burrow their way into your brain and refuse to leave. The production is slick and polished, thanks in part to the guiding hand of producer John Goodmanson, whose work with the likes of Sleater-Kinney and Bikini Kill shines through.

But it's the more experimental moments on Grecian Urnin that truly set ADULT BOOKS apart. "Ghost Shirts" is a haunting, atmospheric number that showcases the band's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

In short, Grecian Urnin is a tour de force from a band that's clearly in a league of their own. ADULT BOOKS have crafted an album that's as fun as it is thought-provoking, as catchy as it is challenging. Throw this one on, turn it up loud, and prepare to be dazzled.
