Adoni - The Results 7"

A DJ and synthpop musician from Glebe, Adoni's love of pop culture artefacts is ever present throughout his work.

With his signature baritone voice, he delivers post-war newsreels, cartoon villain monologues, and radio broadcasts alike, collaged over ominous electronic pop production.

Adoni’s second solo single, The Results (as well as B-side, If The Rats Could Smell Trouble) arrives on Friday June 26.

The Results is minimal and addictive; body music with a brain. The track combines insistent electronic drums, a killer two note synth hook and samples from a child’s drum machine - experimentation that wouldn’t be out of place on Paul’s Boutique.

Adoni’s vocal on the chorus is both wry and swaggering: “Will the music industry ever be the same? It is time…to hear The Results,” he growls.

B-side If The Rats Could Smell Trouble is a straighter narrative than Adoni’s usual cut-up style, a noir-ish re-telling of the 1963 Great Train Robbery over menacing synths and spidery guitars.

The single was produced by June Jones, whose collaboration with the artist is facilitated through Club Weld, a Western Sydney-based studio for neurodiverse musicians.

The new music follows on from last year’s brilliant Please Feel Free To Panic b/w BBC Home Service 7”. Adoni launched the single with a performance with the Australian Chamber Orchestra in November.

Outside of his solo releases and live performances, you can catch Adoni's resonant voice and curatorial vision monthly on 2SER shows The Soundpit and Mighty Reel. – Club Weld
