ABOUT MALAISE:

Malaise deals with social and individual problems due to the covid19 outbreak and was recorded at Adam Usi´s homestudio.

It´s the first release by Adam Usi not to be recorded and mixed at young and cold records in Augsburg.

Malaise will be part of an upcoming Vinyl LP, set to be released in late 2020. This album will be released via young and cold records.

Special thanks go to Sebastian Meisner who is a good friend and artist. He helped me get the song mixed the way I wanted it.

It´s also the first time an Adam Usi song was mastered at a different studio. Thanks to Joshua Stevenson from otic recordings based in Canada the song got even catchier, which is no surprise, considering he masters tracks for labels such as SUB POP. Thank you, JJD (Soft Riot) for introducing me to Josh.

A big fat thank you goes out to Alessandra Buciuni, she did the new music video all on her own in her appartment and is a good friend, too. Alessandra also did the video for Unter Wasser, which was released on In Plastique Bloom some time ago.

LYRICS:

My whole live I could ignore
what was really going on
But it´s fancy to be active in certain ways
Now the fever is hitting strong
that´s what´s really going on

but we don´t struggle together
thats just what they want to tell ya

The bounce the bounce
the bounce the crash
wait here
the bounce the bounce
the bounce the crash
stay weird

Blaming others - acting strong
exercises in the yard
can´t you see that´s just a "privileged whitey thing"
can´t go to ghe shopping mall
your whole life is falling apart

no we don´t struggle together
thats just what they want to tell ya

The bounce the bounce
the bounce the crash
wait here
the bounce the bounce
the bounce the crash
stay weird

(every generation got its own disease)

about

Adam Usi Augsburg, Germany

»Would anyone manage to describe the sound of Adam Usi? The German is alone on stage with his keyboards. (...) Adam Usi impresses especially during the latter. A man who cries out his demons to the sound of minimal electro. Nice, not? It was so beautiful that we were dancing for an hour, far away from everyday problems.«

Stunning album and artist. Dark love. The best dark vibes in genre. I prefer the first works because they are darker than the last. We're waiting for her come back. Get well soon. raulmori
