Theo Adler: Information Age
Theo Adler is a singer/songwriter born in Fulham, London.
He began playing piano and guitar at the age of five and later started writing songs after hearing Ben Folds Five's "Whatever And Ever Amen.”
Inspired by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Gorillaz, Jungle and Radiohead, Theo weaves his own spin into the songs and recordings he makes.
In 2019, Theo started collaborating with Luke Potashnick (lukepotashnick.com) at his new studio, The Wool Hall in Somerset - previously occupied by Tears for Fears and Van Morrison, The Wool Hall has also seen the likes of The Smiths, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones and Paul Weller passing through.
Luke Says - “I remember first hearing Theo and immediately understanding and identifying where he's coming from… Theo's talent and what he brings to his recordings are truly unique in this day and age. They reminded me of the early Beck and Kinks records at the same time... As we continue to make records together, Theo's writing goes from strength to strength... I couldn't be more excited and into what he is doing."
Theo explains that his new single "Information Age is about how quickly things can seem to move, and how uncertain the tides of things can be, everyday situations feeling like a high-wire act. It takes inspiration from trip hop, pop and alternative rock. I wrote the demo for this a few years ago with the rhythmic element at the forefront of the idea. I like the technique of using double time tempos to then bring in a half-timed idea. We were using a number of different synthesisers to give the electronic feel on this one. Luke brought in the guitars while I played the bass. Tom the Lion hit the drums.”
