Formerly part of legendary electro duo
Le Car, Adam Lee Miller founded ADULT. together with Nicola Kuperus in 1998. The two began their unpredictable path with the now obscure 12" the 'Modern Romantics' 12" which was recorded under the name Plasma Co. and released on the now defunct German label Electrecord in 1998. Realizing the effeteness of the moniker PLASMA Co, they quickly changed to the more fitting title of ADULT. and in the same year released their second 12" 'Dispassionate Furniture' on their own label Ersatz Audio, which they had started back in 1995.
Things began to change for ADULT. in 2001 with the release of "Resuscitation", their first compact disc (which is a collection of their first four 12" singles). Reaching more freaks than vinyl can apparently, ADULT. went out doing more shows than ever before as well as remixing everyone from Tuxedomoon to Phoenecia . After two more 12"s and their first limited hand-numbered 7", ADULT. delivered their second album "Anxiety Always in 2003. Following it's release, ADULT. embarked on their first "proper" US and European tour. Not really fit for public saturation, ADULT. suffered minor neurasthenia after this and only did 1 live show in 2004 and three limited hand-numbered 7"s (including one split with The Dirtbombs).
2007 begins with their fourth and most focused album yet "Why Bother?" on Thrill Jockey, new music videos created by ADULT., another full tour and more...
