Cheval Sombre
releases his third album -- his first solo release for more than eight years, following 2018's critically acclaimed collaboration with
Galaxie 500
and
Luna
frontman
Dean Wareham
, and the first of two new albums scheduled for 2021, both of which have been produced by
Sonic Boom
. Cheval Sombre is the nome d'arte of
Chris Porpora
, a poet from upstate New York whose otherworldly psychedelic lullabies on his self-titled album from 2009 and its follow-up,
Mad Love
(2012), won him a cult following.
Time Waits for No One
ushers in his most prolific period, and serendipitously the world has finally slowed down to his pace. This is no lockdown record, but Cheval Sombre's reclusive, reflective music is its perfect soundtrack. "I've always said that what I really want to do with music is to give people sanctuary," he explains. "Pandemic or not, the world has always felt as though it were spinning out of control to me, and so if folks have slowed down, I do see it all as an opportunity to discover vital realms which have always been there, but we've been too rushed and distracted to encounter."
Time Waits for No One
is also his finest and most fully realized body of work to date and, appropriately enough for a record that has taken so many years to come to fruition, across eight original songs, an instrumental and a closing cover of
Townes Van Zandt
's "No Place to Fall", its overarching theme is time itself; what it is and what role it inevitably plays in all of our lives. But the record is also timeless, contrasting the musical simplicity of Cheval Sombre's open-tuned acoustic guitar curlicues with the beautiful, sweeping and ornate arrangements of Sonic Boom's keyboards and
Gillian Rivers
' and
Yuiko Kamakari
's strings. The end result is something akin to
Daniel Johnston
backed by the
Mercury Rev
of
Deserter's Songs
. Elemental and earthbound, but simultaneously and very subtly shooting for the stratosphere.
