In contrast to the experimental project, Fridge (with Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet), Adem literally found his voice for these subtle folk inflected and emotive songs. Homesongs was largely arranged for acoustic guitars, harmonium and double-bass, but it's also about the ringing of strings between notes, intakes of breath and old and odd "real" instruments. Just listen to the subtle flourishes as harmoniums wheeze into life as if borrowed from Ivor Cutler's Scottish Living Room, an autoharp twangs to the light impact of a pencil, a child's toy clicks, and a glockenspiel provides lone accompaniment on a 'Long Drive Home'. Adem produced one of THE key singer/songwriter albums of 2004 with Homesongs. Features the single 'These Are Your Friends'.

"A mesmerizing debut." Four Stars, All Music Guide
"The results breathe that same rarefied air as Nick Drake or Vashti Bunyan." Dot Music
"Nothing less than a whole new world will do, and Adem has created just that."
