Musical Spotlight: Adam Green

There are no artists working today that sound like Adam Green. He combines fairy tale melody lines with indie rock instrumentation, clever lyrics and a voice that’ll make your grandmother swoon.

Adam Green is one half of the anti-folk Moldy Peaches and a german pop sensation, though he hails from here in the states. His songs range from the sentimental soap opera fairy tale of “Frozen in Time” to the faux-Doors rock of “White Women”. This little dude is definitly worth your time. Check out some videos here.

“The way I write songs, they know I’m just some kid. I’m not all that unusual, but the listener knows where it’s coming from: personal experiences. I like my songs to be like a real person and have a personality. Someone who can’t sing a song without any humour in it, they have a serious problem.

Coldplay have a serious, unforgivable flaw. I can’t allow Chris Martin to sing to me; I can’t get into it. Music is like a love affair: you put on the headphones and get intimate. You can’t get with someone who doesn’t give it to you the way you like it.”

If you like eclectic artists like Beck, Zappa or Lou Reed, you’ll love Little Mr. Green. Try Jacket Full of Danger or Gemstones, his two latest efforts and be blown away. Witness his power:
