Minor Love reveals a more serious side of this prolific, truly original New York artist. Already recognized for his irreverent, idiosyncratic, charming, and sometimes-controversial songwriting (The New York Times called him "clever and ruthless" in reviewing his previous record, Sixes & Sevens), the new album spotlights Green's talent with 14 folk-rock songs reminiscent of the '60s and '70s that redefine him as an artist. His warm baritone recalls Lou Reed or Leonard Cohen, and Green infuses the songs with a keen sense of tenderness and melancholic humor, making Minor Love his most personal, cohesive, and accomplished album. From the ruefully ruminative opener "Breaking Locks" to the grooving, velvety "Buddy Bradley," the '70s glam stomp of "What Makes Him Act So Bad" to the haunting "Cigarette Burns Forever" and "Boss Inside," it's clear why British magazine Artrocker recently described Minor Love as his "best work to date."
