Details Release Date: Mar 18, 2008; Lead Performance: Adam Green; Genre: Indie Rock

Just in case, amid all the Juno-related plaudits for Kimya Dawson, you've forgotten that the semiretired Moldy Peaches had more than one member, her principal bandmate is back with a new solo effort, Sixes & Sevens. Green spends his fifth album trying out a goofy, Elvis-esque croon and stringing together meaningless rhymes (''Sold the kids to science/Baby, cancel my compliance'') over arrangements that evoke 1950s schmaltz and digital-age tinniness. He hits a campy sweet spot from time to time, but at a seemingly endless 20-track length, this is one tiresome gag. C+
