Aquarius records http://aquariusrecords.org/cat/local12.html Chris Porro Lampreys and Gigolos (Self-released) Lampreys And Gigolos is the debut album from this SF storytelling songsmith, and quite an impressive introduction it is! The songs that Chris Porro crafts run the gamut from earthy heartfelt folk ("Secret Story") to straight-up catchy pop ("Pop Star") -- often akin to the broad scope of Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices. His warm, lilting voice is sometimes reminiscent of Ken Stringfellow and Jonathan Auer of The Posies and other times of Chris Isaak. Along the way, Porro embellishes his path with interesting lil' noise details and lush string and organ treasures here 'n' there. Nice!
