Adam Green is a talented singer-songwriter and visual artist known for his unique blend of folk, indie rock, and anti-folk music. With a career spanning over two decades, Green has established himself as a prominent figure in the alternative music scene.

His musical style draws inspiration from various genres, incorporating catchy melodies with introspective lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, and self-reflection. Influenced by artists such as *The Moldy Peaches*, *Peter Doherty*, and *Jeffrey Lewis*, Green's music captivates listeners with its raw emotion and authentic storytelling.

In addition to his solo work, Green has collaborated with notable musicians including members of *Babyshambles* and *Herman Düne*. He has also ventured into the world of visual arts, showcasing his talents through exhibitions and album artwork.

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

'minor love' features 14 brand new tracks from 'america's number 1 greatest singer!'. 'minor love' found green enlisting the talents of rodrigo from little joy and other hanger-ons, like his brother joel (and look-a-likes joe steinbrick and greg from megapuss). the album showcases a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully / singer, green. in a total state of isolation, green attempted to play nearly all the instruments on the record, due to incurable social phobias which plagued him. apparently the inspiration for this album lies in green's fatalism - you might want to take that with a pinch of salt though!
