Biography
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Claudio Sanchez found himself forced to reckon with the possibility of losing two of the most important people in his life at once: his 100-year-old grandfather, who lay dying in the hospital, and his wife, who was battling the respiratory effects of an auto-immune disorder. Unsure where to turn, the Coheed and Cambria frontman began writing his way through the darkness, revisiting his solo project, The Prize Fighter Inferno, for the first time in nearly a decade as a means of processing the fear and uncertainty of it all. Recorded at home in the midst of the tumult, the resulting collection, The City Introvert, is a far more intimate record than Sanchez is traditionally known for, eschewing the heady, conceptual narrative arcs associated with Coheed and Cambria in favor of a deeply personal portrait of love, loss, and commitment. The writing comes from a profoundly vulnerable place, and Sanchez’s delivery is raw to match, with urgent, insistent performances captured in the immediacy of the moment. That impulsive spontaneity, however, is countered with a painstakingly deliberate approach to the production here, one that finds Sanchez running a mix of modular synthesizers, vintage drum machines, and manipulated vocals through multiple layers of processing and effects to create an intensely moving collection that walks the line between man and machine, emotion and analytics, chaos and control.
