Sun On My Floor

ada ardor was born out of hearing European pop in the freshly collapsed USSR where the female producer spent her early years. The impact was so lasting that it survived adolescent experiments with rock music, exercises in orchestral composition at an American college, artistic residencies in Europe, unsuccessful attempts to take shape, years of nomadic life and immigration to the UK.

The demos left in the sieve after everything aforementioned became the material for the upcoming EP 'Secret Sunday Service' (out May 10), produced by a London-based DJ and producer Max Mannone, who was at the time inspired by contemporary French experimental pop. The record has 5 songs that explore themes of growing up, girls' complexes, Bergmanesque nooks and corners of romantic relationships, and musings on where the world is coming to at the minute. Genre-wise, even though it's quite synthpop-dominated, europop, dreampop and ambient textures are present as well at times disturbed by fractured poetry and melodeclamation.

The released singles from the upcoming EP got noticed by BBC, KEXP, Amazing Radio UK, as well as by Rolling Stone who included ada ardor in their list of 20 new artists to follow in 2024. Having performed at SXSW, The Great Escape, Reeperbahn, and KEXP with her previous projects, the female producer has received praise from Louder than War for her music's 'lush widescreen melancholy' and The Quietus describing her music as 'drenched in ghostly introspection' - ada ardor carries these feelings with her but with an urgent danceable vigour.
