Hello folks! This is the preview for ‘City Of Dust,’ which was put together by Victoria-based film-extraordinaire, Dave Wallace. aka. Innovative Imageworks.

Here are some of the photos taken by Brett Reid and Lindsey Blane at our release show! You can check out more of their work at http://lindseyblane.tumblr.com and http://www.brettreidphotography.com

City Of Dust is a cohesive and yet eclectic collection of songs inspired by modernity, urban decay, and human nature. Throughout the album, these themes fuse together and build on the idea that if there is trouble in nature, there is trouble in society. While it stays true to the folk-pop sensibility found in Answers [EP], the new album reflects a greater sense of musical depth and experimentation. Rich with memorable melodies and distinctive instrumentation, City Of Dust serves as a hallmark of musical growth for the Canadian singer- songwriter.

“Chris Ho is an artist proficient in two distinct classes. Like a college student who painstakingly trudges through a double-major program, so does Ho in his musical ability. The joining factor of his duality is his relative genre-ambiguity. At its core, his music is best described as poetry set to acoustic rock. You get the impression that he could very well be a 21st century Paul Simon crossed with John Lennon.”

Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates in BC/AB/SK!

In the meantime you can listen to, and download, one of the tracks off this album, ‘No Connection’! By no means does the song encapsulate the overall musical style of the album, but it does make reference to some of the themes, and more importantly it comes from a place of sincerity.
