"Oscar Herrera, former lead singer for The Sleep of Reason, Halo, El Duende and the popular Darkwave band Black Tape For A Blue Girl, is releasing of his first solo album, Songs For The Fallen Mountain King.

The album features songs from his past that have been reworked and some that are coming alive for the first time. The sounds are eclectic, with rock as a base and echoes of classical, jazz, flamenco and even musical theater. The song “Father Whiskey” was arranged by Alex Lacamoire, musical director of Hamilton, In The Heights and other great works.

The core band is composed of musicians from some of Oscar's previous bands. Other musicians come from all over: a string quartet from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, a three-piece horn section and a mandolin player from Buenos Aires, Argentina, a flamenco guitarist from Medellín, Colombia, and an R&B singer from Nashville."
