English band Adult Jazz talks to Salon about music,

No singular sound defines the English band Adult Jazz. Their homeric tracks move through musical chapters, guided by singer Harry Burgess’ lolling melodic voice. There are off-kilter beats reminiscent of Dirty Projectors, and hints of influence from the iconic English band Wild Beasts. However, these are just fleeting comparisons that can hardly encompass the nine sprawling songs that comprise Adult Jazz’s debut album, “Gist Is,” which came out on Aug. 4. There is only one song that falls below the five-minute mark.

The album, “Gist Is,” was written over a period of three years, born from an instinctive need to create. Three members — Harry Burgess, Tim Slater and Steven Wells — began recording music while studying at Leeds University in England, adding member Tom Howe after performing several live shows. Burgess still has his day job as a teacher, and plans to balance teaching with the new demands of touring and performing.
