Solo
In 2008, Porter finished work on his debut solo album Close to the Sun. The 12 song album bridges the gap between the sonic atmospheric stylings of The Belltower and the guitar-driven power pop of Fountains of Wayne. It was co-produced by Michael Tudor and Gordon Raphael (Strokes, Regina Spector). The album was first released in Japan by FAEC/Rough Trade on July 2 of that year and was later picked up by Engine Room Recordings and slated for release worldwide on May 11, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word solo:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
