“There’s sort of a line between engineering a song like it’s a piece of artwork you’re trying to make, versus making it a vomitus confessional. I’m just employing the same techniques anyone would use in meeting a new friend or something. There’s an element of withholding information, but it’s not malicious. It’s almost like maybe you can compare it to seducing somebody.”
Adam Green (Mount Kisco - USA , 1981) is a musician, painter, sculptor and film director. He dropped out of college to follow his dream of making music and formed the group “The Moldy Peaches” with his friend Kimya Dawson.
