Our Take

In the world of avant-garde music, it's easy to get lost in a sea of experimental sounds and bizarre compositions. But fear not, dear reader, for MIKE ADCOCK and PAUL JOLLY are here to shake things up with their latest collaborative effort, "Risky Furniture".

From the moment you press play, it's clear that Adcock and Jolly are not ones to conform to the musical norm. The album kicks off with a cacophony of electronic beeps and boops, setting the tone for what can only be described as a sonic rollercoaster.

Tracks like "Sofa Surfer" and "Chairman of the Bored" showcase Adcock's impeccable piano skills, while Jolly's innovative use of found sounds adds a layer of unpredictability to the mix. It's a match made in musical heaven, with each artist bringing their own unique flair to the table.

But what really sets "Risky Furniture" apart is its ability to toe the line between chaos and beauty. One moment you're wading through a sea of dissonant chords, the next you're swept away by a hauntingly melodic refrain. It's a testament to Adcock and Jolly's skill as musicians that they can pull off such a delicate balancing act.

In conclusion, "Risky Furniture" is a wild ride from start to finish. If you're in the mood for something different, look no further than this gem of an album. Adcock and Jolly have crafted a truly unique listening experience that is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat (or should I say, the edge of your risky furniture?).

This dynamic duo, consisting of renowned composer Mike Adcock and innovative sound artist Paul Jolly, have been pushing the boundaries of music for decades. Adcock, known for his virtuosic skills on the piano and accordion, brings a classical sensibility to the duo's compositions. His intricate melodies and harmonies provide a solid foundation for Jolly's electronic wizardry, creating a unique blend of acoustic and electronic sounds. Jolly, on the other hand, is a master of manipulation. His use of synths, samplers, and effects pedals takes Adcock's compositions to new and unexpected places, turning traditional instruments into sonic experiments. Together, MIKE ADCOCK / PAUL JOLLY create music that is at once challenging and accessible. Their live performances are a sensory overload, with Adcock's fingers flying across the keys and Jolly's fingers dancing across his array of gadgets. Their latest album, "Electric Dreamscape," is a tour de force of experimental electronica. From ambient soundscapes to glitchy beats, MIKE ADCOCK / PAUL JOLLY never fail to surprise and delight. In a world where music can sometimes feel stale and predictable, MIKE ADCOCK / PAUL JOLLY are a breath of fresh air. Their willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of what is possible in music make them a duo to watch. So, if you're looking for a musical adventure like no other, look no further than MIKE ADCOCK / PAUL JOLLY.
