ADULT. began releasing albums in 1998 under the pseudonym "Plasma Co." Initially, the band members were uncredited and not publicized, but by the time Anxiety Always was released, ADULT. was listed as husband-and-wife team Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus. Miller and Kuperus are also the founders of the Ersatz Audio record label. When launching their tour in support of the D.U.M.E. EP, ADULT. announced that they had become a trio with the addition of guitarist Samuel Consiglio. The trio was short-lived—Consiglio left the band at the start of 2006.
ADULT. gained popularity while touring constantly in the United States and releasing all of their material independently. They toured with Trans Am in 2002, and in May of 2003, the band made its first headlining tour in the United States; gigs across Europe followed soon after.
ADULT. have remixed other artists, most notably Felix da Housecat, Fischerspooner, A Number of Names, The Faint, Erase Errata and Bis.
Before ADULT., Miller was with the band Le Car. Kuperus (who is also responsible for ADULT.\'s album artwork and photography) has sung on the works of other electronic acts including Death in Vegas, Swayzak and Chicks On Speed. Kuperus has also showcased her photography at museums around the United States and Europe.
As of 2007, Miller and Kuperus have focused their attention more on recording and touring, and less on their own label; the last few ADULT. releases have been distributed by Thrill Jockey Records rather than Ersatz Audio.
Both band members have art degrees. Miller has a painting degree, and Kuperus a photography degree.Carioli, Carly. "High anxiety: Adult\'s 21st-century electro-pop." The Boston Phoenix April 17, 2003 [3]
All of ADULT.\'s EPs have been issued on the 12 inch vinyl format.
