He was also a featured guitarist in the movie Echo In The Canyon, where he plays alongside Jakob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Beck, Norah Jones and Brian Wilson.<br><br>However \u201cSelf\u201d sees Perdomo take on all writing, performing and production duties himself, being solely responsible for the creation, evolution and recording of every note and lyric on the album.\u00a0 Perdomo comments \u201c\u2018Self\u2019 is not just an album. It is a definition of who I am. It is the most complete statement I have ever made as a recording artist.\u201d<br><br>With influences as broad as Todd Rundgren, YES, Emitt Rhodes, Paul McCartney and Jason Falkner, this beautiful collection of songs is, at times both uplifting and self-reflective.\u00a0 It displays Perdomo\u2019s enviable versatility as a musician and songwriter. The album boasts pop\/rock songs, melancholy ballads, flavors of Latin-tinged yacht rock through to finger style guitar and, of course, an eponymous epic prog composition.<br><br>Perdomo goes on to say \u201c\u2018Self\u2019 is the most eclectic album I have ever made. It is truly a full representation of what I can accomplish using the studio as an instrument of intense creativity and a tool for self-realization\u201d.<br><br>\u201cSelf\u201d is mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winning Zach Ziskin.<br><br><strong>Watch the video for\u00a0\u201cSearching For Myself\u201d:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Gd9AWcsAHpA?si=HN0AHgHdK9PYbbHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Gd9AWcsAHpA?si=HN0AHgHdK9PYbbHQ<\/a><br><strong>Pre-orders for \u201cSelf\u201d can be placed now via Cherry Red Records:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherryred.co.uk\/fernando-perdomo-self-cd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.cherryred.co.uk\/fernando-perdomo-self-cd<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Track Listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Searching For Myself (4:11)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Who I Really Am (4:10)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Everything Leads To Now (2:54)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Optimist Prime (2:13)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Absolute Silence (2:21)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">All Of Us Under The Same Moon (2:19)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Self (19:42)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spirit Of Unicorn Music are pleased to announce the release of \u201dSelf\u201d, the new solo&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[218],"class_list":["post-23537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-fernando-perdomo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23537"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23539,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23537\/revisions\/23539"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
