Cheval Sombre - Cheval Sombre

Review by Dom Gourlay

New York based singer/songwriter Christopher Porpora has been making music as Cheval Sombre for the best part of a decade now, so the fact that this self-proclaimed "dark horse" has only just gotten round to releasing his first long player probably says more about the perfectionist in him than anything else.»
