Moping In Style

Description

Capitane Records is pleased to announce the release of "Moping in Style: A Tribute to Adam Green." This double album brings together Regina Spektor, Father John Misty, Devendra Banhart, The Libertines, Jenny Lewis, Sean Ono Lennon, Frankie Cosmos, The Lemonheads, and many other familiar names whose contributions testify to Adam Green's status as a key player in independent rock over the past two decades. With selections of songs drawn from Adam's solo albums, from "Garfield" (2002) to his most recent "That Fucking Feeling," this tribute album showcases Adam's remarkable palette as a songwriter.
Widely known as one half of the songwriting duo The Moldy Peaches, Adam Green has had a singular influence on his generation of musicians and artists since the early 2000s. Since the early 80s, when bands like the Strokes, the Libertines, and the White Stripes began to write the new chapter of indie culture, Adam has played a crucial role. From his early songs to his most recent ones, fans of Adam Green have delighted in the kaleidoscopic landscape of language he paints. He opens doors to possible meanings with his lyrical imagination and manages to be absurd without being silly and quirky without being overtly provocative. He weaves the very delicate artistic needles of tenderness and humor, kitsch and high art, rock'n'roll and torch song.
