But by 2009, after the dissolution of a long-term relationship, Adam had slumped into another depression, and decided that he
had tired of rock music. He found solace in the Old Poets with whom he had spent his youth, and worked his way through the
Lomax field recordings.
Gradually, he set about composing a new album. It was to be called Immortality, and was to be, he wrote, 'the mausoleum of my
childhood'. The songs were quiet dirges set against the backdrop of a declining civilisation. In August, Donen returned to Harder's
studio to lay down the tracks, joined by a string quartet, flautist, horn section and an array of guest backing vocalists. Mixing was
finished by October.
The album was released in the UK on March 1st 2010.
