Minor Love is Adam Green's sixth solo record, released by Rough Trade Records in Europe on January 8, 2010, and in the U.K. on January 11, 2010. It was released in the U.S. on February 16, 2010. The album supposedly showcases "a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully/singer" and was recorded "in a total state of isolation." [5]
