Washington, D.C. post-rock outfit the Sorts formed in the autumn of 1994, originally comprising singer/guitarist Joshua LaRue (formerly of Rain Like the Sound of Trains), bassist Stuart Fletcher and ex-Hoover drummer Chris Farrall. The group's debut album Common Time appeared in 1996, followed a year later by This is Gateway Sounds; the Boom saxophonist Carlo Cennamo signed on for the fourth Sorts LP, 1998's Hawaiian Bronco, with pianist Vin Novarra (an alumnus of the Crownhate Ruin) expanding the line-up to a five-piece for 1999's Contemporary Music. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
