Adam Green - Minor Love

Review by James Lawrenson

Without the humour, this could so easily be lounge singer pop. This is, after all, the man who came up with the so bad it's genius of “I am a goat / In a moat / With a boat”. Without that, what is left? What do you do if you've excised all the silliness? You go to Songwriters 101, and learn how to write proper songs, with addictive melodies and all that. »

'minor love' features 14 brand new tracks from 'america's number 1 greatest singer!'. 'minor love' found green enlisting the talents of rodrigo from little joy and other hanger-ons, like his brother joel (and look-a-likes joe steinbrick and greg from megapuss). the album showcases a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully / singer, green. in a total state of isolation, green attempted to play nearly all the instruments on the record, due to incurable social phobias which plagued him. apparently the inspiration for this album lies in green's fatalism - you might want to take that with a pinch of salt though!
