West Coast singer/songwriter Chris Tsefalas crafts alternately hook-filled and atmospheric power pop gems in the vein of Joe Jackson, Paul Westerberg, and Matthew Sweet. The Portland-based musician recorded his debut record, I'm All Right?, in 2006 with producer John Moen (of Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks and Sleater-Kinney), Richard Buckner, and Elliott Smith engineer Larry Crane at Jackpot Studios. ~ James Christopher Monger
