From the Detroit couple that brought us illuminating death disco hits such as "Nausea", "Human Wreck", and "Blank-Eyed, Nose Bleed" comes a new chapter of ADULT. Well known for refusing to repeat themselves (and for their pesky capitalization and grammar eccentricities), the two have now officially become three. No, they didn't have a baby, they just recruited another, um, adult into the fold.

Adam Lee Miller, Nicola Kuperus and Samuel Consiglio (from kindred spirits Tamion 12 Inch) will begin touring October 19 for their new album, Gimmie Trouble, which is in stores today, October 11, courtesy of Thrill Jockey. Britt Daniel, watch your back. Tracklist:

01 Gimmie Trouble
02 Bad Ideas
03 Scare Up the Birds 04 Thought I Choked
05 Strange Mistakes
06 Disappoint the Youth
07 In My Nerves
08 Turn Into Fever
09 Helen Bach
10 Still Waiting
11 Lovely Love
12 Seal Me In

If you're expecting to hear hands to phones and monotones, think again. On their third full-length, ADULT.'s sound has evolved to a delightfully menacing, if not psychotic, assortment of punk electro rants and howls about love, life, boiling blood, crushed skulls, and even a lady named Helen Bach. They claim the elusive Helen (whose name conveniently sounds like "hell and back") is real, insane and lives upstate in the woods. Sure. Regardless, get ready to have some fun. Because this is the most fun they said they've had to date. Which, since this is ADULT. we're talking about, might be considerably less fun than, say, the Darkness are having right now.
