1) Adem is the solo project of Fridge bassist, London-based Adem Ilhan. Adem specialises in downbeat acoustic songwriting, utilising his knowledge of post-rock from his time in seminal band Fridge to give his folk-ish songs interesting and unexpected idiosyncrasies.
Adem admits to never having sung before 2002, though when his debut album Homesongs was released in 2004 (by Domino Recording Co.) it received widespread critical acclaim as much for his voice as for the tales he tells and his way with melody.
A second album, Love and Other Planets, was released on April 24, 2006 to generally favorable reviews.
In May 2008, Adem released his third album Takes, a collection of 12 cover songs which have influenced the artist from 1991 to 2001, some dating back to his youth. The album includes tracks originally written and performed by Yo La Tengo, The Smashing Pumpkins, Björk, dEUS among others.

Invisible Man
Adem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Count the bubbles in your hand
The summer sites
And the southern skies
That's all that's left behind
The skies, and a sweet caress
He's the invisible man
You're no where in site (just imagine that)
Nothing excites you (baby that's a fact)
Open your eyes
Look and you will find
That's all that's left behind...the skies
And a sweet caress
The skies, the sights
And a sweet caress
He's the invisible man
Catch him if you can
That's all that's left behind...the skies
And a sweet caress
The skies, the sights
And a sweet caress
He's the invisible man
Catch him if you can
The song "Invisible Man" by Adem is a melancholic tune that speaks of a man who feels invisible and unnoticed, almost as if he does not exist. The opening line of the song, "He's the invisible man, count the bubbles in your hand," suggests that this man is so invisible that the bubbles in the palm of one's hand are more noticeable than him. The summer skies and southern sights are all that is left behind; thus, the man's existence has been completely erased.
However, the melodious beat and the sweet caress mentioned in the song suggest that there may have been love and hope present in the invisible man's life, but they too have disappeared. The lyrics "You're nowhere in sight (just imagine that), nothing excites you (baby that's a fact), open your eyes, look and you will find" paint a picture of an individual who is lost and unable to find their place in life. The invisible man's only wish is for someone to catch him if they can; he longs to have someone see him and acknowledge his existence.
Overall, "Invisible Man" is a poignant song that speaks to individuals who feel overlooked, unseen, and invisible in their lives. It's a reminder that we all crave acknowledgment, love, and a sense of purpose.
