Adult Cinema - 365 (2024)

"He’s knocked it out of the park. It sweeps you along on its meticulously paced journey and surges seamlessly between Jarre-like electronic pulses to organic, orgiastic rock, complete with Gilmour-esque solos."

‘365’ is the latest all-new studio album from Adult Cinema since 2020’s ‘Hot And Cold’. Crafted by Mike Weston at his home studio in Southend, this album is a new take on the Adult Cinema sound. It’s not song-based but an exploration of the prog rock roots of the Adult Cinema sound – it’s ‘progressive’ and it’s a concept album. As with previous albums, there are still nods to the great bands of the 60’s and 70’s, but on this record, Mike has delved deeper into longer pieces with broader instrumentation and arrangements, creating the unique journey that is this album. This album is an extension of what Mike has done so far as Adult Cinema. It’s him letting go of the approach on previous albums and just writing pieces of music that aren’t forced into musical pigeonholes. It’s more expanded, more depth, but just four tracks: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. But, they are epic! Coming in at around fifteen minutes per track, which is conveniently perfect for one side of vinyl… This brand new album is sure to please existing fans whilst appealing to those new to the band with a piece of music that undoubtedly brings a new dimension to the Adult Cinema sound.
