This album was made in the second half of 2015 in Tauranga, NZ. I wrote and recorded it in my basement mostly through the night as I was working in a coffee shop during the day. It was recorded using only an old open body electric guitar, the guitar case and vocals.
In The Trials and Tribulations of Adam and His Seed, Thompson turns his attention to everything from biblical themes to politics and privilege and the bittersweet nostalgia of fairy tales in a world of modern anxiety. It may have taken five years to carve out the work within, but Thompson’s expansive, philosophical album has been set free right on time.
