Barry Adamson used to play bass with new wave outfit Magazine, Visage and Nick Cave. He moved on since then as a solo artist and his new one Back To The Cat is his best yet. Adamson is the kind of guy who can sing about things going awry in a big way, styling his songs as UK sixties soundtrack. A bit of jazz, a bit of funk with subtle brass riding on top. Music from the age when Sean Connery was the coolest guy on the planet who could get away with murder with a half smile on his face.
If you liked his work for David Lynch's movie Lost Highway, you will love Back To The Cat.
