Stranger On the Sofa

Description

Originally released in the mid-2000s, ‘Stranger On The Sofa’ is an album tied together by its mysterious cinematic composure. Each track is used to demonstrate the breadth of musicianship and re-presentation of countless timeless genres, moving in between electronica and jazz with shadowy ambience scattered throughout. Nick Plytas and Adrian Owusu provided their expertise on the organ and slide guitar, with Barry playing almost every other instrument. Composing, performing, recording and producing ‘Stranger On The Sofa’ undoubtedly makes it an album that represents Adamson fully embracing the DIY aesthetic from where he began.
