After a quarter-century of relentless creativity, the Detroit synth-punk pioneers ADULT. have mastered a unique sound with their latest album, Becoming Undone. This ninth studio release captures a sense of disarray, mirroring the chaotic world we live in.
Recorded during the upheaval of 2020, the duo, Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller, introduced new elements to their setup, including a vocal loop pedal and Roland percussion pads. Their influences range from the politically charged industrial beats of Test Department to the off-kilter synth textures of TG’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats, resulting in a collection of tracks that explore themes of impermanence and discord.
The album features tracks like the frenetic “Undoing / Undone” and the edgy EBM anthem “Fools (We Are…)” that showcase their signature acidic sound. Slower pieces like “Normative Sludge” reveal Kuperus’s powerful vocal delivery, capturing the emotional weight of the moment. The closing track, “Teeth Out Pt. II,” stands out as ADULT.’s first song without drums, evoking a haunting sense of vulnerability and introspection.
