Adult Jazz is an innovative and genre-defying musical project hailing from the United Kingdom. With their unique blend of experimental pop, jazz, and electronic elements, they have carved out a distinct sound that captivates listeners. Led by frontman Harry Burgess, Adult Jazz has gained critical acclaim for their thought-provoking lyrics and intricate compositions. Their debut album "Gist Is" showcases their ability to seamlessly weave together complex melodies and rhythms, creating a truly immersive listening experience. Whether you're a fan of avant-garde music or simply appreciate boundary-pushing artistry, Adult Jazz is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Formed in [year], Adult Jazz quickly made waves in the music scene with their unconventional approach to songwriting and performance. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as jazz, indie rock, and electronica, they have crafted a sound that defies categorization. The band's commitment to pushing boundaries extends beyond their music; they are known for their visually stunning live shows that incorporate elements of theater and dance.
Since the release of "Gist Is," Adult Jazz has garnered a dedicated following around the world. Their unique sound has earned them comparisons to artists like Dirty Projectors and Animal Collective while maintaining an unmistakable identity of its own. With each new release, Adult Jazz continues to push artistic boundaries and challenge conventional notions of what popular music can be.

Adult Jazz first appeared back in 2013, amid a flurry of praise surrounding their joyous and addictive debut single 'Springful'. Their unanimously acclaimed debut album Gist Is followed in 2014, self-released on their label Spare Thought, with The Sunday Times calling it "utterly riveting" and the NME and The Line Of Best Fit both naming it their album of the week. Gist Is was a startling and mesmerising voyage from start to finish, taking a labyrinthian, fragmented pop-not-pop path, incorporating songs within songs, while maintaining a sense humour through some of its complex themes surrounding religion, gender and humanity.Following the release of Gist Is, the band went on to play sell out tours around Europe as well as festivals including Latitude, End of The Road, CMJ and Iceland Airways. The latter was attended by none other than Bjork, who was moved to write about Adult Jazz as ones to watch for Art In America Magazine. David Byrne followed suit and asked them to play at last year's Meltdown festival with Young Marble Giants, while further endorsements came from diverse remixes by Oliver Coates, Happa and a very rare re-work from Shabazz Palaces. Since then the band have been busy collaborating, including producing OKAY KAYA's recent single 'Durer' / 'Keep On Pushin'. Adult Jazz return with a new record 'Earrings Off!' released on May 6 2016 via TriAngle. Comprised of seven tracks, it experiments with sound and song structure as well as its themes and narrative. Harry explains: "The record is about masculinity. Embodiment, lust, idealisation, privilege, legitimacy and limitation. It's about acknowledging the weight, with a view to liberation from its past clout. It's about picking your ideal body, and playing with body language to achieve authenticity. It's about the possibility of authenticity."
