Adam Green & Binki Shapiro - Blue (Blue)

Originally released in 2013, the lone collaborative record from The Moldy Peaches' Adam Green and Little Joy's Binki Shapiro stands as a charming ode to the folk pop of the 60's. The album began to take shape when Green supported Little Joy on a South American jaunt a few years prior. Though the ten duets here muse plainly on failed romances and the ensuing emotional turmoil, they take on a surprisingly gentle, matter-of-fact tone. Built on breezy melodies and strummed guitars that are accented by subtle synth-work, the record highlights the duo's admiration for each others' work, making for compelling repeated listening.
