Adam and the Animals is a conceptual album created by Italian musician Valerio Piccolo and American writer Rick Moody.
The whole album is based on one of the oldest legends in the world, considered one of the first representations of storytelling in history. It tells stories that touch all our lives, devoid of religious connotations.
Adam is in Eden but he’s alone and bored. God hears his complaining so he gives him a task: to name all the animals he has created. Adam completes the assignment but he still feels lonely. So, to quiet his continual implorations, God creates Eve. And the rest is history (so to speak).
Adam, Eve and the eight chosen animals, minus the biblical elements, are the pretext for venturing into narratives from an unexpected and original point of view. It is also approached through literary references in the search of classics told from different perspectives.
