It is a great time to be a fan of The Moldy Peaches and Adam Green. The fan-favorite indie band reunited last year to release a collection of early songs. Additionally, they plotted shows in Europe as well as New York. Now, a laundry list of indie bands are paying tribute to Green’s songwriting prowess with Moping in Style.
Green and fellow founding member of The Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson, embarked on solo careers in 2004. Since then, Green has released eleven solo albums. His debut solo record Garfield dropped in 2002 and his most recent, That Fucking Feeling, came out last year. The upcoming tribute album will feature covers from his two-decade solo career.

Green spoke about the tribute album on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday. “Wanted to tell you all about a beautiful thing that has happened in my life,” he began. “It’s such a special thing filled with so much sweetness. My favorite artists and some of the best songwriters alive right now have recorded a compilation of cover versions of my songs,” Green added.
Going into more detail, Green wrote, “It’s a double album that spans my solo career and the versions are awe-inspiring. Thanks to Turner Cody for making this happen and for Capitane Records and Org Music for releasing the album.”
Moping in Style is available for pre-order now. Those in the United States and Canada can pre-order through Org Music. Those in other locations can order through Capitane Records. The album will be out everywhere on December 1.
