Adam Green is the first solo album offshoot from the Moldy Peaches. It features the same ... more
blend of obscene playground humour, touching
observations and bedroom lo-fi that dominated
their debut and indeed much of the so called
"anti-folk" scene. But, without Adam's accomplice
in crime, Kimya, this is a more gentle
affair--sadly, gone are the noisy stomps about how
to grow up "super cool" or, ahem, crack. In fact,
other than the Stones and Dylan inspired mash of
""Baby's Gonna Die" musically at least, this is
relatively subtle stuff compared to Moldy Peaches.
Adam focuses on strum-and-hum-along acoustic
numbers with the odd splattering of saxophone ("My
Shadow Tags On Behind") or suitably lo-fi computer
effects that are more ZX Spectrum than Cubase
("Apples I'm Home", "Computer Show"). But it's the
dirty, sad stories and the silly rhymes that pull
you in. This is not a good choice for those
unaccustomed to Kimya and Adam's
obsessions--hanging out in guitar shops, comics,
fumbling sex and yes, dressing up as Robin
Hood/Peter Pan (two of Adam's stage costumes). But
for those already hooked on the anti-folk sound,
in particular Jeffrey Lewis' tragicomic busking,
Adam Green is certainly worth checking out.

'Times Are Bad' - but this CD sure isn't!
Review of Adam Green - Adam Green by kaaaay

Advantages: Almost all great tracks, thought-provoking and sometimes funny
Disadvantages: Could alienate anyone unfamiliar with Adam's 'style'

If you're unfamiliar with Adam Green or his part in the lo-fi, anti-folk band The Moldy Peaches you may find this album completely weird, childish or confusing. This was Adam's first album away from The Moldy Peaches, and although he has released two other albums since (Friends of Mine, Gemstones) this one is considered a favourite of most fans. (One thing I think I should point out is that this album is titled 'Garfield' and not simply 'Adam Green' ...
...along. Again, this is just Adam and his guitar. 8/10 5. Dance With Me One of the stand-out tracks on the album. It's also one of the more 'mainstream' sounding songs. This is mainly electric guitar and drum based. Really good - another of my favourites. 8/10 6. Computer Show This is another of my least favourite tracks. Again, the thing that lets it down is the clashing electronic sound. It's not bad, but it's not great either. 5/10 7. Her ... Read review

Additional notes

Album Notes: If the lo-fi, naive charm of Adam Green's first solo album seems highly reminiscent of his work with anti-folk duo Moldy Peaches, it's mostly because he actually recorded the album before his sonic adventures with Kimya Dawson began in earnest. Although he didn't hit his musical stride until 2003's FRIENDS OF MINE, this collection of simple, personal songs is a nice document of the songwriter at the start of his trajectory.
