Detroit Synth-Punk Duo Adult. Contort in the Distorted Dance Nightmare of “Our Bodies Weren’t Wrong”

Detroit synth-punk duo Adult. contort in the distorted dance nightmare of “Our Bodies Weren’t Wrong”, their latest video from their ninth official full-length album Becoming Undone.

The formidable pair of Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller have for a quarter of a century honed their stylistic Soundcraft into one of their most caustic and cohesive records yet. This is evident on this latest single from the album, “Our Bodies Weren’t Wrong”, where Nicola Kuperus’ possessed like vocals loop around frenetic synth beats, evoking the sound of some sort of techno punk frenzy that dissolves into a theurgic fever-dream.

Here, the aural imagery is fused perfectly with the visuals, as Adult. have brought Becoming Undone’s artwork to life in their mesmerizing self-directed video for the single which features dancer Shannon White.

“Askew interior architectures merge with estranged domesticity,” ADULT. describe. “The body moves rightside up / upside down / in the doorway / out of the doorway in this suburban void filled with too many doors to realms of the unknown. Feelings of disorientation and liminality interlace with elements of ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and the dance meets horror of ‘Suspiria’.”

Watch the video for ‘Our Bodies Weren’t Wrong” below:

Using her vocals to decry and grieve faults, fears, and failings of a deluded world, Nicola Kuperus’s vocals crack with a resonance that flickers and shudders with indignant denunciation. “Humans have always been pretty terrible,” Kuperus explains. “But every year the compromises of culture just accelerate.”

Becoming Undone also saw Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller reconnecting with their legacy influences, such as the politicized industrial percussion of Test Department and the queasy miscreant synthetics of TG’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats. From this, the duo ignited a series of sonic ideas centered on the themes of impermanence and dissonance. “We weren’t interested in melody or harmony since we didn’t see the world having that,” Miller states.

Becoming Undone is also an album fraught with deep personal pain, as Kuperus’ father passed away during the height of the pandemic, just before the album took root. As his hospice caretakers, she and Miller faced the banality of finality, surrounded by objects drained of meaning, “the joy of having a body, but also the drudgery of having one.”

Becoming Undone is out on February 25th via Dais Records across all digital platforms. Vinyl and CD formats will be available in stores worldwide on March 11th.
