ADhD by Paul Devine

New album, “adhd”, is part tangential collection of songs and part experiment into Neurodivergent creativity, It is the second solo release by the ex-Siiiii vocalist. Devine set out to explore the agile vividity of the ADHD imagination. And so the basis of each track was recorded in its entirety; spontaneously and in one sitting, with no rehearsal. Lyrics were then written and the songs embellished until completion and ultimately mastering.
I was born with the condition and, uniquely, the method I came to deploy here was informed by it.

Each song is a genre or subgenre in its own right.
I could not replicate any track, because they come directly from my mind.
This is an experiment.
A scientific and emotional odyssey.
I’m delighted to have you join me.
