Description
Look Park, is the debut album from Chris Collingwood, lead singer and founding member of Fountains of Wayne, under the moniker, Look Park. It features his pop sensibilities and unmistakable vocals he made famous in Fountains. Similar to the way Fountains of Wayne chose its name based on a garden store that was located near the bands rehearsal space, Look Park takes its name from a park near Collingwoods home.
Fountains of Wayne have sold over 750,000 albums in the US. Their last album on Yep Roc, Sky Full of Holes, has shipped over 20,000 CDs and over 2,000 LPs worldwide. The album has been downloaded over 16,000 times in North America.
The self-titled Look Park debut album was produced by Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Sheryl Crowe, The Pretenders, Los Lobos). Highlights include, Aeroplane, Shout pt. 1 and Stars of New York.
Aeroplane is the albums lead single. Its a whimsical, melodic track that whisks the listener away, reflecting on where Collingwoods been and where hes going. Following a standard pop-rock structure, the song leads into a dynamic chorus that has the power to levitate you. Strings, twinkling piano, romantic acoustic guitar, and classic electric guitar weave together beneath the lyrical introspection. While Collingwood sings, Aeroplane, I am already in you/ Do you wonder where Ive been, where Im going to, do you wonder how the soul survives? he questions his past, present, and future, but hands us a first class ticket onto his latest venture.
