Album Description With a style that steps closer to the likes of Bacharach and Brel with each release, Adam Green has created Gemstones, his third solo record, combining his singular songwriting vision and plaintive, almost-angelic tenor with elegant melodies and playful art-pop arrangements. Gemstones is an album whose songs transcend indie rock in favor of more enduring virtues, and it offers 15 prime examples of Green?s sculpted-yet-irreverent songcraft that has won him a sizable and ever-increasing audience in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan, where he's toured with the likes of The Libertines, Badly Drawn Boy, Ben Kweller and The Strokes.

CD ReviewsA breath of fresh air in a world of crap! Ryan Jackson | Los Angeles,CA | 04/03/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I love this album! I've heard a lot about adam but I did not hear him until just the other day, man was I missing out. Great album full of weird and funny as hell songs,it's so great to hear something original out there in a world of copycats. highly recomended. 4.5*" Oddly fascinating superinkygrrl | Portland, OR | 03/10/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "I'm not sure if Adam Green is deliberately trying to sound one part folksy-druggy kooky balladeer and one part vaudevillian-cum-cabaret singer. Either way, it matters little. I'm completely intrigued.
Oh, I'm not saying I love his music, but I certainly appreciate the gusty chutzpah to put something out there like "Gemstones". The lyrics are strange and somewhat disturbing and the music is stripped down and, yes, simple. But it's Adam's voice, his character that really kept me listening track after track. Actually, I take that back, I am saying I like his music and I'm totally going to endorse this cd! And don't let the haters keep you from enjoying something completely left of center. The songs are short (around 2 minutes each), so it wasn't a huge time investment. It didn't change my life, but it didn't rob me of 30 minutes of my life, which I can assure you happens every time I happen to flick on American Idol." |
