Friends and musical collaborators since high school, the band formed out of Southern California&#8217;s fertile DIY house show scene. Their self-titled 2012 debut EP (Lolipop Records, Burger Records) turned heads with its infectious melodies and sharp-tongued lyrical wit. It has since gone on to become Lolipop&#8217;s best-selling and most-pressed cassette. Subsequent releases from hardcore-leaning Vitriol Records and UK-based anorak pop imprint Box Bedroom Rebels speak to the band&#8217;s diverse set of influences and universal songwriting appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Now based in\u00a0Los Angeles, Adult Books operates in a liminal zone informed by both small-town ennui and urban isolation. Their first full-length LP, &#8216;Running from the Blows&#8217; is a decidedly darker effort, although the band&#8217;s knack for memorable hooks remains stronger than ever. The album&#8217;s driving post-punk sound draws on the melancholy melodies of New Order, the shimmering guitar work of The Smiths and the nervy urgency of The Wipers. Alternating between sardonic and sincere, the tightly crafted lyrics strive for an emotional honesty even at their most ambiguous.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imgCaptionAnchor\" href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001qxijA_rOoU1cJ89JsxGBtt39xi5QCkeX2oXh0UD1X6mtvkXqeQrj0pig4qJBektG2rcCvYb2PndAZ85wuZIeTIYR97VYZnDcNo-RgTjVgPuWOMdrzz06lQQGvRUyyXWogLFEJQ8IQSMav8jPOGPlKXvdWTSxv8qq4kyCyYn7lfoXppS88J6wXEm99jcaTB1Fv7eDukTepIDUvmGo3kR92zPl78y_2MI7ynUMjYzArIxhZHZAuGvfEI0ZhtYzKJZALC6epX1ttcg=&amp;c=87Vi-pD2SfL4PNeMKGeZbwy1TP6kQEVCYB_SX6J83L_abiKh_wCLqg==&amp;ch=bsVBj0K0zpMl4mNdXHaA98ZXIZantwd1IQjFYwJ2fG52FSdiNWOTwA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" shape=\"rect\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"cc-image-resize alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.ctctcdn.com\/fad5d549001\/d01c3d6c-c153-45b7-93b7-0a5f99d9d25d.jpg?resize=326%2C326\" alt=\"Adult Books Running from the Blows cover\" width=\"326\" height=\"326\" name=\"ACCOUNT.IMAGE.3221\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/a><strong><br \/>\nTrack listing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.\u00a0Casual Wrecks<br \/>\n2.
