Mad Love

Cheval Sombre's sleepy second album features contributions from Sonic Boom, Dean & Britta, and MGMT. Nothing much happens, but it remains a quiet treat.

Cheval Sombre has friends in high places. The second album from upstate New Yorker Christoper Propora features both members of MGMT and was co-produced by Spacemen 3 legend Pete Kember. It’s the latter’s contribution that is most noticeable, and fans of dream-pop will find much to love here. Propora has been making music for more than a decade, but he remains relatively unknown outside of his circle of more widely celebrated friends.
