Gist Is

Leeds-based quartet Adult Jazz's debut album is full of formally convoluted songs which seldom run shy of five minutes, and feature plenty of brisk, ponderous guitar figures and difficult-to-parse drumbeats. It's full of clever turns of musical and lyrical phrase which will dispel possible accusations of self-indulgence and pretention, and yet somehow, with a few listens, it's easy to enjoy this unusually paced album.
