The former Moldy Peaches member eschews dick jokes and pop ditties for Downtown cool and minimalism.
It's the end of an era: An Adam Green record without a single dick joke or crack-cocaine reference. In fact, much of the former Moldy Peach's latest album, , finds Green trying to obstruct the persona he's spent almost a decade fine-tuning. As occasionally funny as he was while cloaking his emotions with crudeness and junk-pop crooning, he was rarely as forthcoming as he is on his sixth solo outing. suggests Green is interested in sometimes actually saying what he means, even if it's usually about how unavailable he actually is. "I had to be the schmuck who tries to be smart," he explains on highlight "Stadium Soul". At least this time, he doesn't need a Wayne Newton parody about a hooker to tell us.
