Fridge bassist (ergo associate of Four Tet's Kieran Hebden) who has signed to Domino and is now fronting his own four-piece acoustic band. The company reckon that he's 'stepped out into the light with a wealth of beautiful songs, perfectly arranged for acoustic guitars, autoharp, harmonium, percussion and double-bass. Adem's honest vocal delivery and hymn-like song structures present his tightly wrought musical vision with great style.'

His debut album, Homesongs, is out now, as well as the follow up, Love And Other Planets.
