Adem K – The Community Chest CD
After busying himself in the past few years releasing the debut When the Sky Fell album, ‘Welcome to the Growth Zone’ and the sophomore album for The Burton Cool Suit, ‘You Can’t Fight City Hall’, former Turnstyle frontman and indie pop roustabout Adem K returns in May 2010 with The Community Chest, his first solo release in his more-than-a-decade-spanning career.
The Community Chest sees K’s pop sensibility run wild, combining the blues-rock fuzz of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with dreamy Beach Boys harmonies on opening track 200 Year Old Volkswagon, side-stepping between winsome verses and jerky choruses on third track Burning Questions for Sportsgirl, then rediscovering his synth roots with fifth track barn burner Ceiling to the Floor.
In addition to reaffirming his status as the best song title-er in the business, these songs show off the breadth, skill and eclecticism of K’s songwriting while at the same time providing the same wit and slacker 90s grit as his past projects.
The album is available now the Love Is My Velocity online store, digitally on emusic.com and itunes and in all good record stores.
