The Thao & Justin Power Sessions by Portland Cello Project - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Perhaps the most beloved stringed instrument (next to the guitar) in the world of indie rock, the cello's sound is imbued with the sort of dignified melancholy of which indie types have always been enamored. The Portland Cello Project takes this appreciation to a new level with THE THAO & JUSTIN POWER SESSIONS. The "indie cello orchestra's" second album is a lovely if slightly precious collection of chamber pop built around the lush, sweeping melodies of the PCP. Thao and Justin are Thao Nguyen of Thao With the Get Down Stay Down and Portland singer-songwriter Justin Powers, both of whom possess the sort of eclectic sensibilities and tasteful singing voices to make a project like this work. While this set doesn't offer any of the PCP's wacky takes on pop hits (they've tackled Britney Spears and Salt-N-Peppa, among others, in the past), it's a quality illustration of what the distinctive ensemble has to offer.
