Jordon Pletch and Ian Swaby became friends when they were just three years old. They started Adamic in 2013 as a creative outlet for the music they were writing together. At the time, they wrote/demoed 40-some song ideas and grouped them into albums. Their new album, Sayings, is comprised of the best of those songs and a myriad of others that were written along the way. They chose not to record Sayings first, opting to refine their craft and skills by recording their debut album 5th and E, and its follow up, Irregular Pulses. Fusing hard rock, nu-metal, and their pop sensibilities, these songs encompass their musical evolution and tastes of the last several years.

The opening song, "All of a Sudden", starts things off with a bang, letting it be known that Adamic is back after a 4 year silence. The energy carries over into "Anew", before melding into the dynamic "I Wanted the Whole of the World". The album contains plenty of hard hitters like "Stand" and "All in One", along with the more progressive numbers, "Light" and the blistering instrumental "Facial Expressions". New sides of the band are seen for the first time in "Sayings" and "Urgency", both showcasing moments of relaxed power, before building into anthemic choruses. One of the standout songs, "Cinematic", is a genre-bending journey through all the things the pair has learned over the past several years. The song strides in a calm, relaxed way, before reaching a climax, that is, in itself, cinematic.

The blistering pace of the first single, "Liftoff" leads the charge for the release of Sayings, championing the fact that the boys are back, and better than ever. The song's summer-time optimistic melody is a stark contrast from their last release, Irregular Pulses, but still manages to maintain the intensity.

The album has guest spots from a few of the band's friends and family, adding unique pieces to the whole. The boys had a blast including them, and you can hear that same excitement in each of the songs.

Musically, this is the most layered Adamic album to date, with plenty to dig in to upon repeated listens. The production has also taken a step up, easily standing alongside its hard rock peers.

Jordon and Ian couldn't be more excited to share this new collection of songs, pouring heart and soul into each and every one. They've spent the last two and a half years recording Sayings, and have delivered on all fronts. The album contains a blending of styles and sounds not heard in today's rock music, a welcome departure from the current musical climate.
