History
Adult Jazz was established in 2010 at the University of Leeds. Members Tim Slater, Harry Burgess and Steven Wells are all originally from Guildford.[1] In 2013, they released a 12" vinyl single;[2] In 2014 the band released their debut full-length album titled Gist Is on Spare Thought.[3][4][5]. The album had a positive critical reception, with David Peschek, writing in The Quietus, positioning it "at the sharpest edge of the expression of queer experience in pop music" [6] The record caught the ear of other artists: cellist Oliver Coates covered the album's opener Hum [7];Bjork attended a 2014 show in Reykjavik, later writing about the experience for Art In America magazine; and the group were invited to play 2015's Meltdown festival at the Royal Festival Hall, curated by David Byrne.
In 2016, Adult Jazz released a mini-album titled Earrings Off! on Tri Angle.[8][9][10]. The record was a departure from Gist Is, and explored harsher digital textures. Later that year, the band worked with Okay Kaya on a double A-side single, featuring a cover of the Curtis Mayfield song Keep On Pushing[11]. In 2020, they worked with Moses Sumney and Oneotrix Point Never on the track Cut Me from Sumney's album Græ, which was placed at number 12 in Pitchfork's best songs of 2020 [12].
In January 2024, the band returned to release Dusk Song, their first release in eight years[13].
