Slovy Joe Talbota z Idles: „The best album I’ve heard in ages. The best band you haven’t seen. Go dig, it’s beautiful at its worst.” Řeč je o Pure Adult, no-wave experimentální kapele z Brooklynu, zformované kolem původního dvojčlenného projektu multi-instrumentalisty Jeremyho Snydera a vizuální umělkyně Biancy Abarca. V superlativech o nich mluví i Oliver Ackermann z A Place to Bury Strangers, se kterými Pure Adult sdíleli pódium stejně jako s Gilla Band, Bambara, nebo Mclusky. Agresivní, bohatě texturovaný taneční chaos, exploze syrové energie a ostrý noise rock ovlivněný punkem a post-punkem, to jsou Pure Adult, jejichž debutové album II vydal v roce 2023 dnes už legendární label Fat Cat Records. Svoje letošní evropské turné zakončí na začátku dubna právě v Bike Jesus.
Lazer Viking bohužel stále žije.
Mix obskurního italo-disca, post-punku, bicích automatů a osmdesátkových refrénů balancujících na hraně dobrého vkusu. Anděl za videoklip a nominace na další, Apollo za album a pověst divokých koncertů, kde nikdo nezůstane v klidu.

In the words of Joe Talbot of Idles: “The best album I’ve heard in ages. The best band you haven’t seen. Go dig, it’s beautiful at its worst.” We’re talking about Pure Adult, a no-wave experimental band from Brooklyn, formed around the original two-piece project of multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Snyder and visual artist Bianca Abarca. Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers also speaks of them in superlatives, with whom Pure Adult shared the stage as well as with Gilla Band, Bambara, or Mclusky. Aggressive, richly textured dance chaos, explosions of raw energy, and sharp noise rock influenced by punk and post-punk, that’s Pure Adult, whose debut album II was released in 2023 by the now legendary label Fat Cat Records. They will end their European tour this year at Bike Jesus in early April.
Unfortunately, Lazer Viking is still alive.
A mix of obscure Italo-disco, post-punk, drum machines and 80s choruses teetering on the edge of good taste. An Anděl Award for the video and other nominations, an Apollo for the album and a reputation for wild concerts where no one stays still.
