"Self-professed “post-punk electronic balladeers” the London duo of Erik Stein (lead vocals/rhythm piano) and Jon Boux (lead piano/rhythm vocals) have created a unique piano/vocal sound that uncannily captures both the subtlety and sophistication of Erik Stein’s personal lyrical stylings".
Adrenalin is Cult With No Name`s fourth studio album and continuing with the Trakwerx glorious attention to detail, the packaging is equally as stunning as the gems within. This UK based duo base their heavy piano influences on pure melodic imagery - This release tackles all our eternal hopes and fears. Adrenalin is a deeply rich affair laden with endearing Trip-Hop percussion (adrenalin / Breathing) to accompany the haunting keyboard adventures. Track ten has the curious title of `-7`, this could almost be a Ridley Scott directors cut carved from a desolate movie score, a magnificent tribute - I`m half expecting the sound of continuous rainfall, it always rains in Blade Runner.
Erik Stein and Jon Boux do not ponder for past glories, they create, they compose post-modern stories - They produce man-made electrolica with traditional feeling. We love the complexity and honesty of this release. Previous long players from Cult With No Name are highly recommended, well worth the investment.
"At times raucous, others mournful - and with just a touch of psychedelia - `Adrenalin` is a varied and highly rewarding journey. Musically interesting for its lyrical wordplay as its musical dexterity. To add insight to ingenuity, the album comes packaged in a series of stunning, foil embossed sleeves, that not so much break the mould as bypass the need for one altogether."
