Adam Green - Sixes and Sevens
(Rough Trade) ****
WHAT with movie hit Juno being liberally laced with Moldy Peaches tunes, young Master Green's stock is riding pretty high for the moment. Not that it was exactly slacking as this, his fifth, solo album amply verifies. Whether imploring Be My Man or observing Cannot Get Sicker, Green always sounds like he's singing with an eyebrow raised in wry abandon.
He even gets away with calling one track Twee Twee Dee. And another Drowning Head First.
Jazzy indie pop sits comfortably alongside big-lunged soulful chorus wailing (Getting Led is a belter) and even a bit of showtunery that Rufus Wainwright would be proud of; while Morning After Midnight should raise rafters.
More restrained than the in-jokery of earlier albums, Sixes and Sevens gets my vote.
