They started releasing albums in 1998 under the pseudonymn "Plasma Co."

Initially, ADULT. members were unrevealed, but now it is known that the band consists of husband-and-wife Adam Lee Miller (formerly of Le Car) and visual artist Nicola Kuperus. The two members are also the founders of the Ersatz Audio record label. Upon the release of 2005's Gimmie Trouble album (ybmusic), ADULT. announced that they had become a trio with the addition of guitarist Samuel Consiglio, who has since left the band.

ADULT. started gaining fame after releasing all of their material independently and touring relentlessly in the U.S. They have also remixed other artists, most notably Felix da Housecat, Fischerspooner and Bis. Vocalist Kuperus (who is also responsible for the band's album artwork and photography) has sung on the works of other electronic acts including Death In Vegas, Swayzak and Chicks On Speed.

ADULT. toured with Trans Am in 2002. In May 2003, the band made its first headlining tour in America, and jaunts across Europe followed soon after.

Currently, Miller and Kuperus have focused their attention away from their record label, as the last few ADULT. releases have been distributed by Thrill Jockey Records.

ADULT. Lyrics

Nausea.

You don't even know
How I feel.

Overall Meaning

The song "Nausea" by ADULT. is a haunting and introspective composition. The opening line, "You don't even know," sets the tone for the entire track. This line represents the feeling of isolation, the disconnect between the subject's internal emotional state and the outside world's perception. The concept of emotional disconnection continues in the track's chorus, with the line, "Cold and alone, I'm feeling cut off." The chorus is where the song's title comes into play, with the subject feeling nauseous due to the emotional disconnection and isolation from those around them.

The lyrics of "Nausea" are about the experience of struggling to connect with people or feeling like outsiders in social situations, even when they are surrounded by others. The song explores the feeling of isolation and disconnect that comes from not feeling understood by the world around you. The song's composition is moody, with haunting electronic beats and minimalist rhythms contributing to the overall feeling of despair and isolation.

Line by Line Meaning

Nausea.
The feeling of discomfort and unease that overwhelms the singer.

You don't even know
The other person has no idea about the singer's inner turmoil and distress.

How I feel.
The extent of the singer's negative emotions is beyond the comprehension of others, and may be difficult to articulate.
