NEW SIGNATURE ON FARGO RECORDS (Alela Diane, Andrew Bird, Alamo Race Track) – OUT APRIL 2008 -

Chris Garneau’s voice lies somewhere between liquid and matter on the scale of all that is and ever was. He certainly is a rare bird. A delicate mix of Regina Spektor, Antony and the Johnsons and even Elliott Smith, Chris Garneau uses all 88 keys to craft his music, complementing this with his voice and the occasional strings of a cello, Chris Garneau generates warming fragile melodies. Every note is perfectly in place, every string delicately caressed and each haunting lyrics riddled with enough ambiguity to keep any intelligent listener addicted. Probably the most stunning artist that’s come our way this year.
