Amiable intricacy

Amiably intricate, treble-y clusters rattle unassumingly into unexpected splash & slash - Fridge > Astrozero (from Early Output 1996-1998, Temporary Residence) 

Bonus carnival, from Reichian loveliness to scratchy angularity: Cutup Piano & Xylophone (from Happiness, Temporary Residence); Kinoshita (from EPH Reissue, Temporary Residence); The Sun & Eyelids (both from The Sun, Temporary Residence).

Adem - 'Hotel Lounge (Be The Death Of Me)'

Domino release: "On May day, Monday 5 May 2008, Adem is to release his third album on Domino. Called simply 'Takes', the album is a stunning and evocative collection of Adem's interpretations of tracks that were released in the decade from 1991 - 2001, music that inspired and informed Adem while he was growing up. With 12 tracks ranging from covers of Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins and Yo Le Tengo through to Tortoise and Aphex Twin, 'Takes'; Takes'; recorded at The Pool and Exchange studios, sees Adem step up from home-based to studio recording and sees him producing and playing every instrument himself."

Adem - mmmmm

Something suitably titled to get myself going here - Adem's lovely, clunky yet prettily harmonic 'Launch Yourself'.

I know very little about Adem. But I suspect him of being part - a short-haired intense bass-twanging part rather than a wild-haired Kieran Hebden intense part - of the Fridge/Four Tet Putney massive. There's somewhat more at www.adem.tv & probably on myspace too...

Anyway, LY is from last year's 'Love And Other Planets', which you should obviously buy. Immediately.
