Fire Note Says: Adam Green shows off his serious swagger on Minor Love.
Album Review:
Minor Love is Adam Green's sixth studio album and it feels like one of his most focused. The ex-Moldy Peacher has slowly been creeping in on what we call in the industry " his mature record". So far in his solo career, Adam is still known as the king of controversial one liners and slapstick lyrics but here on Minor Love he puts together 14 songs that come off more direct and completely without gimmicks. The album has a folk rock approach, as each track features Green's vocals paired with an acoustic guitar. A majority of the added instruments throughout the record are also played by Green and most of the tracks average around 2 minutes. This combination and approach works very well for Green's Lou Reed type vocals as he gets in, tells his story, and gets out, without Minor Love ever getting too bogged down as most of the tracks have a similar structure. This record will not make Adam Green a household name but this more personal approach works well for his resume and has enough catchy swagger to keep us interested and continue coming back for another round!
Key Tracks: "Buddy Bradley", "Castles And Tassels", "What Makes Him Act So Bad"
