Adele Dazeem, post-punk/post-rock/shoegaze outfit based in Dalston, East London, was formed in 2020 and developed a sound that fuses a, cutting urgency with ethereal ambience.

Their name is from an infamous John Travolta mispronunciation - seemingly in contrast to the weight of their music - but the simple idea of a misread name became the starting point for their exploration of identity, ego, attachment and the different parts of ourselves.

This explains why - alongside Sigur Rós, Weyes Blood, Ulrika Spacek, Duster, Deafheaven and Beach House - they list psychologists, writers and thinkers among their influences, including Erich Fromm, RD Laing, Donald Winnicott, Ernest Becker, Susan Sontag, Melanie Klein, Hannah Arendt and Victor Frankl.

As their first body of work, Metanoia - produced by mixed by Rory Atwell - traces an inner journey from darkness and emotional dissonance to confrontation and eventual transformation across its four stunning tracks.

With origins in Ancient Greek philosophy and Christian mysticism, the title roughly means `a change of mind', or the moment when psychological collapse becomes clarity.

Opening with the frenetic first single `Misère' - named after a play in cards where you self-sabotage and attempt to lose every trick - it moves into the epic `Deep Sea Hand'.

The intense `Mezanin' explores the discomfort of awakening without action, the moment when awareness begins to surface, leading into the title track.
