Adorable

Adorable formed in Coventry in 1991, Piotr Fijalkowski's distinctive vocals and the band's melodic, emotionally intense sound giving them a quality that stood out even on a label as rich in talent as Creation Records. They signed to Creation in 1992 and released their debut single 'Sunshine Smile' — a song of immediate melodic appeal that announced a band with a fully formed voice.

'Against Perfection' (1993) was a strong debut — 'Sistine Chapel', 'Homeboy', and 'I'll Be Your Saint' were all excellent. The album showed a band capable of real emotional depth, Fijalkowski's lyrics dealing with alienation and longing in a way that felt genuinely felt. 'Fake' (1994) was even better — a more ambitious record that showed the band developing rapidly.

Adorable were dropped by Creation in 1995 and split shortly after. They reformed in 2014 and released 'Anthology' — a collection of their best work that introduced them to a new generation of listeners. The band have continued to perform occasionally. Their two albums remain among the most underrated of the Creation Records era.
