Adam Green - Engine Of Paradise - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Adam Green is renowned around the globe as one of music's most unique songwriters. As part of the NYC antifolk scene he made up one-half of The Moldy Peaches (alongside Kimya Dawson), who enjoyed mainstream success via the Grammy-winning, #1 Billboard Chart ranking soundtrack of the 2007 Academy Award-winning movie Juno. Aladdin is the soundtrack companion to the film Adam Green's Aladdin, a far-out take on the classic tale that Buzzfeed has called Inchthe trippiest movie ever made.Inch Much like the film, the soundtrack is conceived in Green's whimsical and charming style. With an extensive world tour booked and major press behind the film and the album, Aladdin is set to be yet another cult status notch in Adam Green's belt.

Originally released in 2013, the lone collaborative record from The Moldy Peaches' Adam Green and Little Joy's Binki Shapiro stands as a charming ode to the folk pop of the 60's. The album began to take shape when Green supported Little Joy on a South American jaunt a few years prior. Though the ten duets here muse plainly on failed romances and the ensuing emotional turmoil, they take on a surprisingly gentle, matter-of-fact tone. Built on breezy melodies and strummed guitars that are accented by subtle synth-work, the record highlights the duo's admiration for each others' work, making for compelling repeated listening.

A testament to her credibility and talents, the section on this album includes saxophone giant Colman Hawkins, the great Eric Dolphy on flute alto, trumpeter Booker Little, pianist Mal Waldron and the iconic drummer Max Roach. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes written by Nat Hentoff himself, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these magnificent performances.
