    In the booklet Sally writes...

    "It’s odd to talk about all this in such detail. It is only a record after all, and me and Steve are normally pretty private about both our personal lives and our creative processes. But the pandemic and lockdowns unlocked something in all of us. We’ve never made a record that has such a definitive sense of place before, maybe because we’ve both always been a bit nomadic. But Covid brought us home and we’ve all learned that we have the capacity to change."

about

The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart is a Balearic record, though not one that’s inspired by those fabled Iberian sun-kissed beaches that stretch on forever and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Rather, it’s a House record made for all night dancing in a decommissioned steelwork. It’s an ambient record that strolls a windswept coastline where lime-grass dunes rise and fall like slumbering megafauna. The album walks the ugly, lovely industrial coastline of the North East of England, stopping at points to soak up the breathtaking scenery and watch everyday life carrying on in the face of rapid deindustrialisation.

Over the album’s eleven tracks, A Man Called Adam perfectly capture both a time and place. While Starlings dances carefree like a murmuration and The Girl With The Hole In Her Heart trips back through snapshots of terrace house childhood whilst rolling on a retro electro bassline, Hidden Dragon’s low end bass evokes heavy machinery looming large on the horizon. Gorgeous ambient soundscapes like In Favour Of Storms glide gracefully as shift sirens and field recordings of demolition blasts lace with Ammonite’s controlled kettle drum rolls into an addictive Lil’ Louis pulse.

The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart features:

1. The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart 7:04
2. Fight Or Flight 5:45
3. Frankie’s Theme 4:50
4. Over The Border 1:48

9. Over The Border (Bongo Club Dub) 4:07
10. In Favour Of Storms 3:06
11. It’s Science Baby (Funkified) 5:10

The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart was made in Teesside. The sleeve photos for Fight or Flight and the album (along with previous singles Starlings and Ammonite) were taken by Robin Dale in Teesside in the 1970s.

about

A Man Called Adam UK

A Man Called Adam occupy a unique place in the electronic/dance music continuum.

Their catalogue of recorded music is littered with genre-defining classics. yet a review of their acclaimed 2019 album, Farmarama, described them as ‘Britain’s unsung pop heroes’ (Ransom Note). As US journalist Bruce Tantum recently stated, they continue to ‘decipher the dreams that have always brought us together.’ ... more
