Artist's Biography
Jack
Adamant solo career began around 2012 when he started writing songs that
were heavily influenced by american artists such as J Mascis, Lou Barlow,
Evan Dando, Bob Mould, Mac McCaughan, Robert Pollard and others from the
same music scene. Learning to play guitar at twelve years old he couldn’t
wait to start writing music, learning to mix with an old tape recorder won
in a street raffle. By experimenting with different genres of music and
meticulously studying his favourite lyrics, he finally found his own style
leaning towards alternative indie/rock.
After signing to AR Recordings in July 2017, the work began to release Jack
Adamant’s first EP “Lunch at 12 since ’82“. The EP consists of five songs
which tell the story of a couple navigating the obstacles and hardships of
life together. His way of narrating highlights the fragility of a
relationship; the difficulty in knowing when to push harder and fight for
something, when to whisper words of support if the other is struggling but
also to be brutally honest with each other when things aren’t working out.
Jack released his first full length record “Unkind” in 2019, a major
departure from his earlier sound, written between Stockholm, Liverpool, Rome
and God knows where else. Since 2020, the full band has leaned into a
grittier indie punk direction, producing a fresh wave of songs alongside
drummer Ged and bassist Vix. Recorded largely at home during lockdown, this
period birthed “Obscure Places & Cupboards” (2022), an album that tackles
modern dilemmas with commanding vocals and thrilling guitar work, paying
homage to the raw energy of rock legends.
Following a string of new releases including “Pixels In The Dark”, “Stuck &
Paralysed”, “Over Signs” and a personal take on The Cure’s “Friday I’m In
Love”, Jack returns with his most dynamic project yet. His new album,
“Helium in Low Voltage Wiring” explores the tension between contrasting
emotions and sounds, offering a listening experience that is both
introspective and dynamic. It’s a record built on contradiction, fragile yet
forceful, reflective yet charged, further cementing his place as an artist
unafraid to evolve.
About the Album
"Helium In Low Voltage Wiring" evokes a striking sense of contrast and
complexity, blending the light, ethereal qualities of helium with the
grounded, technical nature of low-voltage wiring. The title suggests a
fusion of the delicate and the powerful, hinting at themes of balance,
duality, and the interplay between the natural and the man-made. It conjures
imagery that is both airy and weightless, yet firmly connected to the world
of energy and technology.
The album as a whole explores contrasting emotions, sounds, and concepts,
offering a listening experience that is both introspective and electrifying.
Beneath the surface, it gestures toward deeper themes: the tension between
fragility and strength, the organic and the artificial, or emotional
vulnerability set against the backdrop of a modern, technological world.

Artist's Biography
Jack
Adamant is a singer/songwriter from Italy who lives and records inStockholm. His solo career began around 2012 when he started writing songs
that were heavily influenced by American artists such as J Mascis,Lou
Barlow, Evan Dando, Bob Mould, Mac McCaughan, Robert Pollard, Daniel
Johnston and others from the same music scene.
Learning to play guitar at twelve years old he couldn’t wait to start
writing music, learning to mix with an old tape recorder won in a street
raffle. By experimenting with different genres of music and meticulously
studying his favourite lyrics, he finally found his own style leaning
towards alternative folk/rock.
In 2007, he joined Valerihana, where distortion and heavy guitars gave him
the foundations and confidence to play live. Touring mainly between Italy
and Sweden, they had a good amount of shows under their belt by the time
they released their first record “Out of regulation”, which draws influence
from the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo and the Pixies.
After signing to AR Recordings in july 2017, the work began to release Jack
Adamant’s first EP “Lunch at 12 since ’82”. The EP consists of five songs
which tell the story of a couple navigating the obstacles and hardships of
life together. His way of narrating highlights the fragility of a
relationship; the difficulty in knowing when to push harder and fight for
something, when to whisper words of support if the other is struggling but
also to be brutally honest with each other when things aren’t working out.
”Writing this EP forced me to be honest and take stock of my opinions. It
allowed me to know my own mind.”
Jack released his first full record “Unkind” in 2019, which was a massive
change in sound from the old days, written between Stockholm, Liverpool,
Rome and God knows where else. “I am so thankful to all the people who
supported me and the musicians who shared their talent to make this happen”.
Since 2020 he’s been working on a slightly different sound more towards
punk-rock. A new batch of songs were produced by Jack and his drummer Ged at
home mainly during lockdown. Jack Adamant’s new record “Obscure Places &
Cupboards” was recently released on AR Recordings!
