Adam Green and Binki Shapiro - Adam Green and Binki Shapiro
Released: 28/01/2013
Rounder Records
Anti-folk’s very own enfant terrible Adam Green releases his first new material since 2010. It’s a collaboration with Binki Shapiro of Little Joy, for which he’s toned down the puerile humour that marked his early releases and embraced his latest incarnation as pop crooner, for a set of numbers that have drawn flattering comparisons to Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood.

The Line of Best Fit“Their debut self-titled duet album is their finest hour...” The melodies are drenched in the nostalgia of the classics and feel as if you have heard them before, many of the songs instantly recognisable and immediately memorable...

Drowned In Sound“A record of cutesy psychedelia...” Like Arab Strap with bellbottoms and flower necklaces in place of the drum machine, Shapiro and Green are a match made in heaven who explore every corner of romantic hell...
