Adam Green announces 20th Anniversary reissue of third solo album, Gemstones

“2005 was a crazy time - I was a wide-eyed 23 year old coming to terms with my newfound German pop-stardom - I was fronting a powerful band, the classic lineup of Steven Mertens, Parker Kindred, Nathan Brown, and Chris Isom - We had been touring all year, and we knew the songs inside-out before we recorded them. I was bringing along new cabaret influences of Scott Walker, Jacques Brel, Bertold Brecht, Chet Baker and The Doors - Never has an album so effortlessly poured out of me - there's some powerful magic spells on there - I was in the right place, at the right time, and ‘Gemstones’ is the evidence I grabbed. There was an optimism in the air, before the nihilism that permeated the next album, ‘Jacket Full of Danger’, where I began to get swallowed by the void,” Adam Green says.
