      By Adem Ilhan's own admission his former band, the critically lauded electronic trio Fridge, played instrumental music because "none of us could sing." On his solo debut, however, the bespectacled and bearded English songwriter loses his last name and finds his voice. While his former partner Keiran Hebden keeps pushing the band's woozy instrumental agenda forward as Four Tet, Adem offers up a set of serene, stripped-down folk songs. Yes, his whispery vocals are crude and his mastery of baroque instruments a bit shaky, but it hardly matters as he invests so much emotion and eloquence into songs like "There Will Always Be" and jubilant "These Are Your Friends." It's about time someone provided the missing link between Bjork and Badly Drawn Boy. -- Aidin Vaziri
