Fernando - Enter to Exit (CD)

Enter to Exit is the latest from Portland, Oregon-based pop songsmith Fernando Viciconte and his band - Portland stalwarts Jeff "Chet" Lyster and Derek Brown (both of the Eels), Paul Brainard (Richmond Fontaine), Qwee, and Lewi Longmire (a journeyman in the NW's roots -Rock and Country scene). coupling gorgeous melodies and lush vocals with haunting lyricism, "Enter to Exit" is another dose of Fernando's dark, haunting world wrapped in a pretty, sparkling package. Fernando's melodies are always spot-on, as is his voice, while his lyrics paint a different picture, one of sadness, sorrow, and demos. This is Fernando at his best, mixing the melancholy of 2001's Dreams of the Sun and Sky with more realized Pop arrangements, ensuring that you sing along - even when times are dark. "Fernando Viciconte may not be a household name, but the Portland, Oregon singer has the dynamic persona of a certified Rock Star... it is Viciconte's somber vocal melodies that steal the show. " - CMJ New Music Report Issue: 731 - Sep 10, 2001.
