Adem

I came across Adem (aka: the bass player for the band Fridge) sometime in late 2004 when he had just released Homesongs. I had not come across it in stores, and I did not (nor do not) order online. So, I had not listened to it and had waited for his second effort to come out. Now that I have Love and Other Planets in mp3 format on my laptop, I cannot seem to play anything else.

Okay, Launch Yourself reminds me of Hot Chip (which is funny because they must have thought so too, because they did a remix for it) Crashlander reminds me of some of Coldplays best work they never did, also, a little Radiohead (maybe Kid A era) You and Moon reminds me of Adem at his best, a shapeless and meaningful personality overture.
