Piece Description

This week on TND, we're featuring tracks from the new Adam Green album, Minor Love. Lou Reed isn't dead, but that doesn't stop Green from channeling him in song after song throughout this album. It's not a ripoff--more of a clear influence, really. There are plugs for folk, country, and jazz on this album, too, but it's all filtered through Green's eccentric lyrics and razor sharp hooks.

We've also got new tracks from Yeasayer, Toro Y Moi, and The Morning Benders. Make sure to expect some ambient electropop from Syntaks, too.
