The third, and most extensive, solo release from musician and recording/mastering engineer Adam Zejma sees him further blur the lines between experimentation, found sound and traditional alternative/indie songwriting. This time drafting in Zebedee Budworth (Night Flowers, Space Malk) to assist with production, Rusher Cutting, for Keiji was recorded over a period of two years at Sheffield’s Tye Die Tapes HQ.
Drawing diffuse influences from alternative folk and country, drone, noise, indie rock and traditional gospel music Adam crafts challenging songs that lurch from pop choruses to harsh noise back to vulnerable guitar-led folk. “Rusher Cutting, For Keiji” spans the breadth of the instrumentation available to Adam including numerous synthesisers, live drums, trumpet (performed by Tom McCormick of Acid Mass & Salt Pig) and the church organ of St. Mark’s Church in Broomhill, Sheffield. 
The record is an 8-song chronicle of experiencing and confronting isolation at home and at work. As with previous releases, Adam frequently juxtaposes perspectives on modern life and the internet with gnostic religious imagery. This uncomfy marriage between technology and tradition is laid bare on tracks like “One Thing” and “Bole Hills”, evident in the lyrics but also in the arrangements.
