Artist:	ADULT.
Title:	Resuscitation
Label:	ERSATZ AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	EZ 015CD

"Resuscitation's music defies easy genre categorizing by manipulating the essence of early '70's punk, the sound palette of '80's electro-pop and the dance intensity of '90's techno. Combining their knowledge and love for these genres, Adult has created their own sound that is both knowledgeable and immediate. Whether you are singing along to the infectious 'Contagious' or moving your body to their smash hit 'Hand To Phone', one will agree that the songs of Adult. are impossible to ignore."

Title:	Anxiety Always
Label:	ERSATZ AUDIO
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	EZ 026CD

"Finally, the new album Anxiety Always from Detroit's premier paranoids Adult., is here. Is this their first album, or their second? Well, that depends on if you think that their last long player Resuscitation was an album or a collection of singles. Frankly, we can't decide, and we really don't care. 10 hard-hitting new songs about the times we live in, and how the more things change, the more things stay the same. Songs laced with sardonic humor, about the ironic details of relationships, the apprehension of public life, and songs about nothing -- literally -- about nothingness."

Title:	D.U.M.E.
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	THR 156CD

"Adult. is Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus. D.U.M.E. was recorded in November 2004 in a studio built by Adult. in Detroit. This marks their second release recorded entirely to tape. Also marking a change from previous releases, many of the songs on D.U.M.E. had been played live thus allowing each to evolve a great deal before they were recorded. Aside from 'Don't Talk' all of the songs on this release are new and exclusive to D.U.M.E. 'Don't Talk' was previously released in an entirely different form on the Dutch label, Clone Records. 'Hold Your Breath' marks a distinctive new music approach for the band with the addition of the guitar and two different choruses. This best exemplifies the direction Adult. will be taking with their upcoming album."

Title:	Why Bother?
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 185CD

"Mindless packs, erroneous folklore, misguided shepherds, aggressive incompetence, and real life horrors blend together into this, our fourth album. Why Bother? Some will read this title, sigh and agree, while others will read the title and react with reactionary resentment and countless reasons why one should bother. A test? Why Bother? Well, if you've got a minute to spare, we'll tell you exactly why you should care. Uneasy listening music for uneasy times. A time to contextualize 'folk' for our intent and advocate the importance of being folk. Folklore defines a distinctive culture, the common people, real people. Folk suggests a culture content to operate 'outside'; the place where we are most at ease. With that explanation, this must be a folk record, but realistically it would probably be that kind of 'folk' that conjures up images of Deliverance, 'Motel Hell's' Farmer Vincent or Leatherface's family life. Uncomfortable, restless, disturbed, perturbed, awkward and anxious. Why Bother? hopes to spread the word of weird... abnormal motivations, ready and willing. Trying to tilt the balance of over-stimulation. What is the next step if VIDEODROME is not the endgame itself? Cataloging, categorizing, sterilizing, co-opting and over-hype marketing have created a social smothering and mass indolence. If you aren't inclined to vomit, than you will probably feel worse when exposed to our brand of folk."
