Frankies Theme

A 3 track house single (20m ) — released September 1st 2023 on Other Records Ltd

To celebrate the release of the Collectors Vinyl Edition of their brilliant new album The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart, A Man Called Adam keep the mixes coming with Frankies Theme, the Radio Mix and The TH (Tony Humphries inspired) Jam of bumping D-Train style track. Plus a longer, alternative mix of the ambient-spoken word excursion In Favourite of Storms.

In the album booklet Sally writes:

'Putting the fun back into the music after much painstaking attention to detail works for us... For the final track on the album we went all the way there with a Folamour-esque bit of DJ, filter house silliness. It's Science Baby (Funkified) is as light as feather but seemed a fitting way to end. Unburdened by the trauma of a global pandemic it just says get 'funkified' (vaccinated) and dance.

You can pre-order the The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart Collector's Edition coloured vinyl and booklet (released 21.07.23) via the A Man Called Adam bandcamp page.

“The chillout masters famed for their blissful, sun-dappled sound…with this album, A Man Called Adam have created one of the most potent, bittersweet records in their 35-year career. For all its grit, The Girl With a Hole in Her Heart still carries the optimism of acid house and Balearic beats: Rodgers’ “golden moment” of 1988. “It stays in your heart,” she says, “and you wish it would for everybody.” There’s sunshine on the beaches of Teesside too. - THE GUARDIAN

“… through gauzy beats and hulking, ethereal soundscapes, A Man Called Adam deliver a delightful paean to the Teesside coast, its industry past and present, and wild beauty.” - MOJO

“…imagine Kendrick Lamar on Over The Border and Ammonite… there’s a celebratory mood. An offbeat gem.” - THE DAILY STAR

“…a fusion of biographical stories, breezy pop notes and experimental field recordings … on this astonishing album they manage to bring out the wildness and the beauty of a space scarred variously by pollution, relentless bombing and merciless Thatcherite gutting…as mesmerising as it is unnerving… a celebration of a place that wears its own difficult history with resilience and pride – and thumps to a truly danceable north-east England beat.” - ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE

“…a different kind of clubland record, laced with affection and alienation… longform bassbeats, rainswept ambience, dancefloor detonation… theirs is a different kind of Northern Soul.” - THE YORKSHIRE EVENING POST

“Fusing gorgeous synth-pop, ambient, house and electronica this is Balearic on Tees and all rather thrilling.” - THE CRACK MAGAZINE

“The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart is a pulse, an abundant sense of groove and cool that demonstrates the belief that every area, every microcosm of life can be captured for all its good and not so wholesome with a kindness that is beneficial to all.” - LIVERPOOL SOUND AND VISION

“The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart is a dreamy love letter which channels memories of Teesside across a variety of warm, dancefloor mood, celebrating the spirit of The North whilst highlighting the struggles of regeneration.” - NARC MAGAZINE
