A hugely influential songwriter in the ‘anti-folk’ movement, Green rose to fame through the band The Moldy Peaches. The band – which also included Kimya Dawson – disbanded in 2002, and Green went on to have a prolific solo career, starting with the acclaimed 2002 record Garfield.
While Green has fallen a little into obscurity over the last few years, he’s still be releasing quality albums including 2019’s Engine of Paradise and 2022’s That Fucking Feeling.
Aside from his musical career, Green has also produced numerous physical artistic works including paintings, sculptures, and also two feature films. See the full tracklist for Moping In Style below.
