Adam Wilson (born London, England) started musical life as the drummer for Aerial Stares, an art/punk band in the '90s, with major influences from early Floyd and early REM. He then played rhythm guitar for a country folk band, Aftershave and this genre fits his natural songwriting style more than the art/punk stuff. He's been a solo act for a while now and has achieved outstanding reviews for his recorded and live work, also he's a composer and photographer. Chaos and Grace is his first album for London-based Zube records and a follow-up is due out in early 2010.
