Adem’s covers of dEUS’ “Hotellounge” and Björk’s “Unravel”

For his new record “Takes,”  Adem covered some his favorite songs from 1991-2001, the “music that inspired and informed [him] while he was growing up.” It includes covers of songs by Pinback, Yo La Tengo, Aphex Twin and Tortoise. The official album won’t be available for over two weeks, but is already available on Amazon mp3.

“Making a covers record is like making a mixtape - how much time, love, effort and heartache is invested into side A alone? How to go about selecting the right message, the right combination, the new, the old, and the breadth of music? It’s a chance to show your influences and give people an idea of where your taste comes from. I’ve had to ignore entire genres and decades of music that should be on here; it’s just a glimpse – I hope you enjoy the view.”
