Former Poi Dog Pondering guitar whiz Adam Sultan delivers up a surprising and diverse collection of alternative pop music, showcasing his wry and inventive songwriting with a host of some of Austin's finest players.
Bio / Background
Since electrifying the alternative music scene in the 1990s as guitarist for Columbia/Sony recording artists Poi Dog Pondering, Adam Sultan has devoted his talents to a wide range of artists, including New Orleans-tinged singer-songwriter Lisa Mednick, the Brit-pop psychedelia of Flying Saucers, and the avant-garde jazz/rock of Golden Arm Trio, for whom he composed a number of classical-style chamber pieces, including a string quartet performed by the Tosca Strings (David Byrne). Prior to his current solo effort, Adam joined forces with former Poi Dog guitarist Ted Cho to form Hollowbody, a sonically rich, dual guitar-driven combo the Austin Chronicle described as "moody yet tuneful...a kind of pop sound that doesn't get made much anymore."

Heinous Acts of Love introduces us to an artist whose wry, romantic imaginings evoke a world that is by turns longing, funny, rapacious, or sad. Driven by a formidable and sophisticated musicianship and backed by a core of Austin's finest players (many of whom form the working ensemble
Born in Hollywood, California, Adam has made Austin, Texas his home since 1987. Check out www.adamsultan.com for more info.
