Adjustments are a Manchester based three-piece, formed in 2023. Their atypical line up makes for a fascinating proposition: Tara Gabriella Engelhardt on vocals and drums, with dual electric guitars from Lewis Johnson-Kellett and Finn Cohen-Ennis.
In reviews, the group have drawn comparisons with a wide range of bands, from Television to Mazzy Star, to Sonic Youth. In truth however, with their shifting time signatures and unorthodox song structures, Adjustments have forged something truly individual.
The opening lines of ’Yr New Shoes’ provide clear evidence that their lyrics are smart, insightful and often bruising in their honesty:’ You’re looking at me, like I’m the sun in your eyes. I can’t be too bright right? You told me that before.’ Meanwhile, the group’s guitar lines weave together to create a rich sonic mesh.
The flip side ‘Moon Eyes’ is an altogether more psychedelic beast, its chiming guitars reminiscent of Horsegirl, with a vocal that speaks of emotional uncertainty within a fragile relationship: ’Sitting on the edge of my bed, trying not to think what goes on in your head.’
This is Adjustments’s second vinyl outing. They released their beguiling debut single ‘Bendy A’ back in September 2024, on the Before Indie label, and its power and charm did not go unnoticed.
“An original and deeply engaging live experience, Adjustments sound even better on record. It’s only a matter of time before they are recognised as one of the UK’s most exciting young bands.” – Totally Radio
“Noisy pop with vulnerable lyrics, gravelly guitars and honey-soaked hooks... their stirring brand of noise will make your heart sing and your ears ring in equal measure.” – Jammerzine
