ADULT. - Kissing Luck Goodbye LP

Highly recommended.

Featured among The Quietus' Top 100 of 2026 So Far.

ADULT., the long-running musical partnership of husband and wife Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller, have held onto rage with impressive poise for over 25 years.

Kissing Luck Goodbye is another brutal helping of broken beats and snarling vocals, never curdling into total nihilism or defeat. “The chaos is what they want,” Nicola Kuperus repeats on ‘R U 4 $ALE’ as drum machines blast around the mix.

Her shouts, here and elsewhere, are a clear statement to hold your ground. Even chants like “no one is coming to your rescue” on ‘No One Is Coming’ are more about self-reliance and community action than despair, when delivered with such free and exciting energy.
