Leon Michels revisits the sound of 2005's Sounding Out The City, which first introduced us to El Michels Affair. Over the years, Michels co - founded Big Crown Records with Akalepse, did a ton of great session work, and released two Wu - Tang - focused cover records. Adult Themes is his first full - length return to original compositions since SOTC. This album clearly shows the influence of French psych - pop library music like Melody Nelson and Le Mariage Collectif. The opener 'Enfant' has summery acoustic guitar, blaxploitation flute, and evocative cooing. 'Life Of Pablo' starts with a baby's cry and turns into massive stadium - sized cop funk. The album has unique pizzicato elements and breakbeats. It's so good it'll make you want to make beats again. This is a black vinyl pressing from Big Crown Records in 2020, highly recommended.
To enjoy this El Michels Affair Adult Themes vinyl LP, first, carefully remove it from the shrink - wrap. Then, place it on your turntable. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. When you're done listening, gently put the record back in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid touching the playing surface of the record with your fingers to prevent oil and dirt buildup. With proper care, this vinyl will give you many hours of great music.
