Review by Sheila Dichoso
It all started with Adam Green crooning, “Baby come dance with me on TV at the TV station,” (What does that even mean?) back in 2002. The bizarre lyric is from his solo debut, Garfield, and it’s perfectly sums up the erstwhile Moldy Peaches co-founder’s idiosyncrasy: tongue-in-cheek, “idiot savant” songwriting—exhibited in songs both with Kimya Dawson and his solo work—that are altogether genius, funny, and possibly headache-inducing if one tries to figure out what it all means. For his sixth solo album Minor Love, there’s more of the same lyrical flair now transformed into fine-tuned poetry (“Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes, I love you, always,” he sings) and it’s evident that he’s listened to more Dylan.
