Melbourne-based electronic duo Adult Art Club have shared details of their upcoming debut album. The self-titled release will land on Friday, 10th February 2023. In conjunction with the album announcement, the electronic outfit have shared the new single, ‘A Thousand Golden People’.
Inspired by Essex firestarters The Prodigy, ‘A Thousand Golden People’ incorporates samples as it moves between feelings of discomfort and euphoria. The hard-hitting EDM track was originally penned for Victorian outfit Ocean Grove before Adult Art Club decided to release it themselves.
Adult Art Club – ‘A Thousand Golden People’
“We always saw a bigger vision for the song and felt it a beautiful fusion of projects,” said Adult Art Club in a statement. “We wanted to project our influence from live instrumentation and early inspiration from the likes of The Prodigy. The song’s title and lyrics are inspired by a personal drawing as well as some heritage.”
Adult Art Club arrived on the scene in 2018. The pair have shared numerous singles in the years since, with ‘All Together, Here Together’ and ‘Shaded Blue’ arriving in recent months. The duo see the forthcoming album as a testament to their creative vision.
“This is our identity. We want to create experimental music and to connect and support the art world in every medium – this is us beginning to do those things,” they said. “Every song is influenced by physical art and exploring our heritage ties to it.”
Adult Art Club continued, “We hope to use this as a foundation to manifest these influences through our own gallery shows and productions fusing art and music. Musically, you can expect to hear our love for both heavy and electronic music and the influence from our musical pasts and personal histories.”
Adult Art Club is scheduled for release on Friday, 10th February, 2023.
