The Libertines, Father John Misty, Regina Spektor, and more to appear on Adam Green cover album
A tribute album in celebration of Adam Green’s music, who rose to prominence as one half of The Moldy Peaches, is set to be released on December 1st.
Green was heavily involved in the mid-1990s/early ’00s anti-folk scene alongside acts such Jeffrey Lewis. With Kimya Dawson, Green released several records as The Moldy Peaches, earning widespread recognition for their work on the Juno soundtrack.
However, the band have embarked on multiple hiatuses, with Green and Dawson enjoying solo careers. Green has released 11 albums since 2002, with his most recent release, That Fucking Feeling, appearing in 2022.
To celebrate Green’s contribution to the anti-folk and alternative rock sphere, ‘Moping In Style (A tribute to Adam Green)’ will see some big names interpret his songs.
The album opens with ‘We’re Not Supposed To Be Lovers’ by Regina Spektor and Jack Dishel, the latter of whom has previously played lead guitar in The Moldy Peaches.
The 24-song-long album will also include a cover of ‘Musical Ladders’ by Father John Misty, who worked with Green to create his music video ‘Total Entertainment Forever’ starring Macauley Culkin.
Other contributions come in the form of The Lemon Twigs, Sean Ono Lennon, The Libertines, Jeffrey Lewis, Jenny Lewis, The Lemonheads and Joanna Stenberg.
