Free Music Notes for Sixes & Sevens
Free Music Review: Green's Latest...
Hit: 4 Stars
From the first album, Garfield, to the release previous to this one, Jacket Full of Danger, Adam Green's music had been getting better and better, so I was rather enthusiastic about this album's release. Upon seeing the tracklisting, initially I thought it was somewhat daring that there was 20 songs, each of the songs only being around 2 minutes long. Could they all be great? In an interview, Adam Green said, in explanation, "people will just listen to things on shuffle". After hearing this album, I definitely get what he means.
'Jacket Full of Danger', worked really well as an album from start-to-finish, and is one I primarily listened to as such. If there were less tracks, I might say the same for 'Sixes and Sevens', but, in fact, it is more enjoyable to hear by just selecting certain songs here and there. It's clear that Green was really experimenting with different vocal styles and instrumentation with this album, more than ever. Just when we thought we knew what to expect, too! Calvin Johnson-meets-Jim Morrison-esque vocals, crude and witty lyrics and lo-fi techniques, yes, they're still around, but now we've got the addition of occasional gospel background singers and frequent bouncing around of genres!
There are some real quality tracks on here, like "Cannot Get Sicker", "You Get So Lucky", and "Leaky Flask", though these are just glimpses of Adam Green's potential. If Green had extended the length of such tracks and knocked away some of the others, 'Sixes and Sevens' as a whole would've been a more impressive listen. Despite it's flaws, I'm still not knocking it down in stars. This is just as fun to listen to as Friends of Mine or Gemstones; just listen to "Morning After Midnight" or "Twee Dee Dee".
If you're already a big fan of Adam Green's, it's doubtful that you would be disappointed by this, though it is far from being his best work. On the other hand, if you've just started getting into his music, go for the others first, then come back for this one later.
Sixes & Sevens Poster
Green is formerly one half of Moldy Peaches (with Kimya Dawson). This is his fifth solo album. His music is reminiscent of Bacharach and Brel, and he's created his own brand of playful pop while refining it with each release. He's toured with the likes of The Libertines, Badly Drawn Boy, Ben Kweller, and The Strokes. "A queasy mix of super-sharp realism, clammy surrealism, and elegant melody" - Mojo. "It always amazes me how he can express such deep meaning with such twisted humor. Adam is eccentric and down to earth, with newfound technical proficiency over a wider spectrum of styles. I love it" - Julian Casablancas, The Strokes.2008 studio album from Adam Green, the NY-based singer/songwriter best known for his stint as one-half of the Moldy Peaches. Although his solo career has been overshadowed by a resurgence in Moldy Peaches attention (due to the film Juno), Sixes And Sevens is Green's most cohesive and entertaining album to date.
