Anyone still slogging through the string of Joe Perry Project songs on Aerosmith Guitar Hero knows that any solo singing/songwriting endeavor from a guitarist should be treated with trepidation. Thankfully, Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. is looking like the rare exception to the rule. This first single off his new solo album Como Te Llama is a huge step
toward establishing himself as one of the more confident and consistent
indie rock tunesmiths out there*. The video for "Gfc" is also solid: Hammond shares the spotlight with his solo project bandmates as they hold a sort of seance while watching streaky performance on a zoetrope. --> watch "GfC"(via mtvU.com)
*To make an indie rock SAT comparison: Albert Hammond, Jr. is to The Strokes as Toben Sprout is to Guided By Voices.
