Adam Green
Announces ‘Gemstones’ 20th Anniversary Reissue
To be released via Rough Trade Records on Dec 12th 2025
EU Tour Dates in February
Rough Trade Records is excited to today announces a 20th Anniversary reissue of Adam Green’s landmark 2005 album ‘Gemstones’ to be released on December 12th, 2025. The album will be available both on standard black vinyl and as a limited edition yellow vinyl with mirror-board sleeve.
“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.”
