Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Moldy Peaches co-founder filters his anti-folk roots through the glossy, orchestrated lens of vintage 1960s pop crooners like Scott Walker. The concise, brightly produced tracks juxtapose lush string arrangements with Green's deadpan baritone and absurdly vulgar, darkly comedic lyricism.
