Sultry, passionate\u00a0and intense\u00a0through and through, the\u00a0compositions\u00a0provide the perfect drive\u00a0and spark that Adrian&#8217;s narrative story-telling\u00a0requires. Adrian&#8217;s\u00a0ever-present\u00a0piano forms the basis for the arrangements which rock\u00a0with a cabaret post-punk mood \u00e0 la Bauhaus and Love And Rockets. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><BR>The songs as stories are presented\u00a0in a dark, brooding film noir style, as if told in a smoky joint\u00a0in a backwater southern town\u00a0populated by characters at the edge of society; they&#8217;re\u00a0broken and yet more whole than its shining citizens.\u00a0These men and women are not presented as sinners but as rounded human beings\u00a0condemned to life as it is without the need for redemption. They are &#8216;real&#8217; if you like, observed by Adrian H as a modern day and more mature\u00a0Bukowski who has chucked the excess and honed his stories to a razor-sharp point.\u00a0It&#8217;s all quite literate, dark and brooding, yet fused with speakeasy black humor. <\/p>\n<p><BR>Throughout, Adrian H&#8217;s feverish vocals create a rapport with the listener.\u00a0You\u2019re not just eavesdropping on his songs, you\u2019re transported to a malevolent side of town,\u00a0just a step away from a knife blade and the deep, black abyss.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><BR>Featured on the album are Adrian&#8217;s re-possession of three well-known tracks.\u00a0 First off is Tom Waits, &#8216;Hoist That Rag&#8217; where Adrian leads The Wounds with a blistering organ through a bloody battle of saxophone, piano and percussive textures to claim victory at its end with a call to arms chorus and a tip of the hat to old Tom.\u00a0Later, the band is on the vaudeville stage for &#8220;Chim Chim Cher-ee&#8221; with a dark cabaret atmosphere and three-quarter time; the harmless children&#8217;s song suddenly turned into an angry nightmare. A haunting version of Bain Wolfkind&#8217;s &#8220;Border Patrol&#8221; finishes the album with its sexy saxophone and crime-ridden streets; &#8220;a man lays dead in the snow,&#8221; Adrian H intones, knowing all too well it could be a stranger\u00a0just as easily\u00a0as it could be himself. <\/p>\n<p><BR>Each song is a world all its own, sometimes introspective, sometimes vaudeville, sometimes driving post-punk,\u00a0often very catchy\u00a0and always very emotional. <P>Adrian&#8217;s murder&#8217;n crime tales would work as a Tim Burton soundtrack: pitch-black\u00a0moments,\u00a0blackhearted and gloomy, yet sizzling and captivating. Adrian&#8217;s virulent and venemous vocals deliver\u00a0grim stories with musical echoes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00269%2F&t=Adrian+H+And+The+Wounds%3A+%28Self+titled+CD%29+%23CDsale\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00269%2F&text=Adrian+H+And+The+Wounds%3A+%28Self+titled+CD%29+%23CDsale\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00269%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00269.jpg&description=+%0D%0A+%0D%0A%0D%0A+See+what+else+is+on+our+special+sale%21%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00269%2F&title=Adrian+H+And+The+Wounds%3A+%28Self+titled+CD%29+%23CDsale\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/debut-2\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<h2> <a href=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/?s=%23CDsale&#038;post_type=product>See what else<\/a> is on our special sale!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1487,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[147,54,20,25,98,29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1486","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-adrian-h-and-the-wounds","product_cat-all","product_cat-dark-cabaret","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-goth","product_cat-sale","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1486"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1486"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
