Fountains Of Wayne Guitarist To Release Solo Album
Fountains Of Wayne guitarist Jody Porter has announced the release of his debut solo album entitled ‘Close To The Sun’.
The album was recorded in New York and produced mostly by Tudor and Michael Porter. Strokes producer Gordon Raphael also produced one track.
Speaking about the album, Porter says, "Close To the Sun is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded over the last few years, in between Fountains of Wayne albums and tours.”
“After working on my friends records (Albert Hammond, Jr., Juliana Hatfield), I decided it was time to put out my own. It was nice to be able to let this record come together gradually until I had the right songs to make sense together on one album."
The album will be released via iTunes on August 26 in the US.
