Adam Green - Sixes & Sevens
| Musicomh | The Moldy Peaches' lo-fi offerings and silly costumes were always something of an acquired taste, but with each release Adam Green makes it harder and harder to believe he came from such absurd and scrappy beginnings.
Sixes & Sevens is his fifth hugely accomplished work in a prolific six year long solo career and while it is clear he has retained his sense of humour, Green's songwriting has matured into something rather special indeed....full text |

The scene really pulled on the hipster heartstrings and started speculation about a Moldy Peaches reemergence. This culminated in the awkward appearance of members Kimya Dawson and Adam Green on ABC’s daytime talk show The View. The performance, jarring in more ways than one, had exurban soccer moms bobbing their heads along to quirky lines such, “Squiched up your face and did a dance / Shook a little turd out the bottom of your pants”....full text |
