LO 'GARP' VAN GORP , the voice of the much talked about Martin & Garp, has completed another superb solo album that will be a must-have for AOR fans!

"Martin & Garp made their worldwide debut in the Netherlands in 2020, surprising AOR freaks all over the world. Garp, aka Lo Van Garp, who showed us his emotional smoky voice and saxophone there, has now released his first solo album. In addition to the love for Steely Dan that was also shown in the duo, the adult contemporary vibe of the 70s and 80s is heart-pounding. It's nostalgic yet new, a breakthrough in the generation gap." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

Martin & Garp, a cutting-edge Dutch AOR unit, released their debut album "Sentimental Fools" in October 2020, which was so highly praised that even here in Japan, some people said, "Is it better than Young Gun Silver Fox?!" The solo album that one half of the group, vocalist/saxophonist Garp, also known as Lo Van Garp, has been working on for a while, is being released in Japan first! From sophisticated AOR in the direct line of Steely Dan, to sunny West Coast pop, funky blue-eyed soul, gentle adult contemporary-style numbers, and even the irresistibly mellow "In Another Time" co-written with Leon Ware, the diverse songs are just as high quality and well-made as Martin & Garp. This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully enjoy his greatness as a vocalist!
