Review by Corey Reeder

Adem's album Golgotha is a masterpiece of atmospheric indie folk, exploring themes of loss, redemption, and the search for meaning in a complex and often confusing world. From the haunting opener "To Cure a Weakling Child" to the soaring closer "These Are Your Friends," Golgotha takes the listener on a journey through a landscape of delicate melodies, intricate arrangements, and deeply felt emotions. Adem's voice is a thing of beauty, ranging from a hushed whisper to a soaring falsetto, and the instrumentation is equally impressive, blending acoustic guitar, piano, strings, and electronic textures with a deft touch. The result is an album that rewards careful listening and invites repeated plays, revealing new depths and nuances with each listen. Whether you're a longtime fan of Adem's work or a newcomer to his music, Golgotha is a must-hear album that showcases the depth and breadth of his talents as a songwriter and musician. Highly recommended.
