Barry Adamson is a songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who first made his reputation as a sideman, working with Magazine and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds before he struck out on his own with a unique solo career. Adamson's music is richly atmospheric with a cinematic feel, and he made his solo debut with a mock soundtrack album, 1989's Moss Side Story, before going on to score real movies. Often blending organic instrumentation with loops and samples, Adamson's music often blends retro sounds with up-to-date production, fusing jazz and European pop on 1992's Soul Murder, experimenting with electronic music on 1996's Oedipus Schmoedipus, fashioning a seedy blend of jazz, pop, and dance music on 2002's The King of Nothing Hill, and fashioning '60s-influenced pop and soul on 2024's Cut to Black.
Barry Adamson has also released music as a member of The Farmer Boys, Magazine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Strings of Consciousness, Visage Buzzcocks.
