Adorable

The Profile

Adorable are a British alternative rock band from Coventry, formed in 1990 by vocalist-guitarist Piotr Fijalkowski and guitarist Robert Dillam. They released Against Perfection (1993) and Fake (1994) before disbanding; the group reunited for shows in 2019.

Quartet from Coventry led by Piotr Fijalkowski and Robert Dillam; sound aligned with shoegaze/dream pop; acclaimed debut Against Perfection (1993); follow-up Fake (1994); disbanded afterward; notable track “Sunshine Smile”.

A single, warmly positive review hails Against Perfection (1993) as nearly perfect, praising its shoegaze walls of sound and melancholy pull. The band is framed against The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, and My Bloody Valentine. Adorable released Fake (1994) and then disbanded. The album is seen as overlooked but precious within its era.
