Guy Blackman- Adult Baby (2024 Edition)
"Appealingly loungey and louche" -Brooklyn Vegan "Guy sat down by the grand piano and played some of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard." - Jens Lekman, 2005 "A masterfully realised narrative from a master storyteller" - Triple R Radio (Australia) Chapter Music and French labelPop Superette team up to present the first ever vinyl reissue of Chapter boss Guy Blackman's 2008 albumAdult Baby. Originally released on CD only, Adult Baby is a sumptuous collection of baroque pop tearjerkers, recorded over the course of three years by Casey Rice (Dirty Three, Liz Phair, Tortoise). The album features over 20 musicians, including Swedish pop star Jens Lekman (who sings a duet with Guy set in a men's sauna onDark & Quiet Place), Dirty Three's Mick Turner, Mike Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control), plus a who's who of 2000s Australian indie including members of Crayon Fields, Art of Fighting, Fabulous Diamonds, Pikelet, Minimum Chips and more. The reissue has been lovingly remastered for vinyl by Casey Rice, and features a bonus version of Gene Clark'sEchoes in classic high school band mode. Better known in recent years for his work co-managing Australian DIY label institutionChapter Music, Guy's other musical life has seen him support the likes of Joanna Newsom, Bill Callahan, Vashti Bunyan and Stereolab, touring the world with Jens Lekman, Tenniscoats, Mt Eerie and Dear Nora. He has also played in bands such as Montero, Minimum Chips and Sleepy Township. From the liner notes to the upcoming reissue, French/Australian musician Maxwell Farrington writes: "Guy Blackman is one of Australia's finest singer/songwriters. There are very, very few artists who can make me cry like he does... After his moving (unpretentious) words come his graceful and sticky melodies and arrangements. 'Adult Baby' - this is a very important album for me, it's the Mount Everest of Australian pop
