Beautiful, lush & stripped down pop songs that sit gracefully next to each other creating a George Harrison-esque masterpiece featuring members of The Eels.
Editorial review
From the opening organ notes on "Howard Hughes," it's apparent that Fernando's Enter to Exit isn't your average pop/rock album. Sure, it's full of sweet, somber vocals and catchy hooks -- but the album's got something to it you don't hear very often on melodic pop/rock releases -- and that's raw emotion. Fernando consist of Portland, OR, pop songwriter Fernando Viciconte, as well as Jeff "Chet" Lyster and Derek Brown (both of the Eels), Richmond Fontaine's Paul Brainard, Qwee, and Lewi Longmire (a stalwart presence in the Pacific Northwest's roots rock scene). Such a blending of musicians and styles results in a beautifully eclectic album. The songs on Enter to Exit range from lighthearted, upbeat pop/rockers in the vein of the Beatles to mournful, sorrowful ballads. The group excels with melancholy tunes like "The Change in Us" as well as it does with the infectiously poppy "The Reluctant Deity." The band keeps things interesting with pedal steel on the gorgeous "The Devil's in the Sky," a song that could easily find its way onto a soundtrack for a Western. Fernando switch themes up again with a banjo-heavy "Pasajeros," sung entirely in Spanish. Still, with such a unique style, there's something nostalgic about Enter to Exit. It's somehow reminiscent of early- and mid-'90s melancholy alternative, and Fernando even incorporate Alice in Chains-style muddy distorted guitar licks onto "One Trick Pony." Enter to Exit is a dream from start to finish -- an ethereal journey combining aspects of indie rock and roots rock. This is a group to keep your eyes out for. ~ Megan Frye, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"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, Fernando's "Enter To Exit" is another dose of Fernando's dark, haunting world wrapped in a pretty, sparkling package.
From the bouncy "The Reluctant Deity" to the somber piano-led "Mariana" and through the acoustic "The Change In Us", Fernando's melodies are always spot-on, as is his voice, while his lyrics paint a different picture, one of sadness, sorrow, and demons.
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.
