Recording history
Adem's debut solo album, Homesongs,
appeared on Domino Records in 2004. Mixed by
Hebden, the album found critical acclaim with limited commercial
success. The album includes the song "Statued", which featured on the
soundtrack of the film Dead Man's Shoes.
A second album, Love and Other Planets,
was released on April

Adem is currently at work on a third album of cover songs
