Adam has been described as "a goth in the way that Tom Waits is a punk." This is less spooky than Adam's last album, moving the setting from beatnik Victorian alleys to the parking lot of the strip mall on Cedar Avenue in Cornersville Trace.

Details:
Adam Selzer was born in the suburbs of the majestic metropolis of Des Moines, Iowa, where he formed his first band at 14. It died a well-earned death, and, to this day, those who heard "Supernatural Anarchy" agree that it was metal at its worst. There was no guitar, after all; Adam played "lead bass" and handled the vocals.
After switching to acoustic and discovering Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, and early Springsteen, his songwriting and performance improved remarkably. His songs have now been covered by artists of whom you're not likely to have heard world-wide, and his witty on-air interview segments have been known to earn radio show-types awards for "Best Local Program."
