About the Artist
Formed in the shadows of a Midwestern "university" in the mid nineties, the Nabokov Project has no set membership or contributors beyond that of m. w. gargo. Its most recent incarnation has included the membership of Dave Pollock (spoken-word vocals), Ted Leslie (percussion), Thea Morton (cello, guitar, and keys), and m. w. gargo (vocals, guitar, computer, and keys). Many songs were part of this collaboration (even though they were all written by m. w. gargo). Ted Leslie, however, after the start of this collaboration developed brain cancer and has since died. His illness and death put this version of the band on hold permanently and allowed for the solo "project" to emerge. With the graduation of m. w. gargo, it has moved East and, as Finnegan, begins again in Pittsburgh, PA. M. W. Gargo's solo effort, "Effete Coquette," was dreamed and recorded over the past three years in living rooms and closets of upstairs apartments in Eau Claire, WI and Pittsburgh, PA.
Album Description
This is the first effort of singer/songwriter m. w. gargo in his move into solo music. the Nabokov Project is his "solo" project after being a singer/guitarist in a post-hardcore punk act in the States during the mid 1990's. This album documents a large expanse of styles and genres(from folk, instrumental, goth, to post-rock & experimental), rooting itself firmly in all that is "alternative" while touching always upon (if not obsessing over) the dark sounds and moments of life. This collection of songs is meant to bring a touch of beauty into the world and also provoke some thought on the state of music in the "post-modern" world.
