Adult Jazz return after eight year hiatus with "Dusk Song"
Leeds-based experimental four-piece Adult Jazz have shared "Dusk Song", as their first new music in eight years.
“It’s loosely about slowness and panic coexisting,” explains vocalist Harry Burgess, “and not really being able to comprehend those paces alongside each other when it comes to how to respond to the climate crisis.”
"I shot the video with my cousin in a river on boxing day 2022, after a day of festive comfort," he continues. "It was freezing. We were both in the river and there had been a lot of rain. We had the alarm/flash setting on a camping light and we filmed in slow mo in one take. He is wearing these lorry inner tubes across him like a tunic - something Tim came up with on a stag do no less, and has stuck visually - and a cowl I got from Etsy.”
Adult Jazz has been teasing a follow-up to their debut album Gist Is almost yearly since it was released in 2014. A follow-up EP Earrings Off!, was released in 2016, and writing credits followed for Okay Kaya and Moses Sumney, most notably contributing alongside Oneohtrix Point Never to "Cut Me", a standout from Sumney’s 2020 album græ. But Adult Jazz was also a group of friends who had drifted geographically apart, who had started jobs and families, and had found a pattern to life outside music.
"Dusk Song" is out now. Adult Jazz have also announced they will play a London show at ICA on 24 October. Tickets are on sale from 24 January at 10am.
