The sole purpose of doing The Whole Kameese, is to expose the world to amazing music. We feel that Bristol’s (UK) alt-indie quartet Adult Leisure, is a prime example of band that the world needs to know about.

We have been absolutely smitten with Adult Leisure and now that we finally have the opportunity to check out their debut studio album, “The Things We Don’t Know Yet”, it feels like Christmas morning.

You listen to “Things We Don’t Know Yet” Here

Their debut, 10 track studio album was recorded a and mixed with long-term producer Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by the acclaimed John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party). ‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’ is a collection of songs about people, love, loss and the feelings and experiences we carry through life. Each track is instantly memorable, delivering dancefloor energy, warm harmonies, vibrant synths, driving basslines, lush guitars, crisp arrangements and heart-on-sleeve lyrics. The result is 10 songs that walk the edge of contradiction, it’s ‘happy music for sad people’. 

On the creation of the album, drummer Nathan Searle says: “‘ Things You Don’t Know Yet’ is our way of saying ‘this is who we are’. We’ve lived through different moments, felt the same weight. We each have our own voice, but this album speaks as one. It’s not just a collection of ideas; It’s a reflection of where we’ve been as friends, as musicians, and as people trying to make sense of things. It’s about the stuff we carry, the things we hide, and the moments we hold onto. Writing these songs helped us feel more connected to each other. Now we hope they do the same for you, we hope you find something here that feels like it was meant just for you. They were ours for a long time. Now they’re yours.”

As soon as we heard the melody on the opening track, “Hold Me Close (Before You Go)” we knew were in for an absolutely extraordinary musical experience. ( We were right) One of the many stand out track, is “Kids Like Us “ , stellar and addictive vocals make this one a can’t miss.

Every song on “The Things You Don’t Know Yet”, are gold star worthy . We found ourselves instantly captivated. The one song that absolutely took our breath away , is the beautifully haunting track , “The River” we got chills for days ( absolutely brilliant)
