   About VALLEYS

SOMETIMES WATER KILLS PEOPLE

out now on Semprini Records

It looks like this

Sometimes and it's available here:

Valleys // eMusic // Semprini Online Store

Over the past few years VALLEYS has had the pleasure to play with Fleet Foxes, Yeasayer, Castanets, MGMT, Woods, Future Islands, Why?, Vetiver, Real Estate, Suckers, Lower Dens and Dear Tick.

Words:

"Valleys are an amazing revelation—a band that makes me imagine what it might have been like to see The Swans back in their heyday, if you replaced Michael Gira with a ethereal young female with a deceptive, awesome power." - SOUND PROOF MAGAZINE (live review - Halifax Pop X)

“… The live experience was truly exciting, though, because each song seemed to be unpredictable from moment to moment. In one five-minute song, the group could sound like Glenn Branca’s early-80s guitar experiments and the minimalist American composers of the 70s. There was never a single moment where one could suspect a mapped out structure – everything seemed sonically and emotionally real…more a suggestion of melody rather than the blatant expression of it. This worked staggeringly well for the band.” – SINGING LAMB (NXNE live review)

“Think hushed vocals, layer upon layer of acoustic guitar, with some droney fuzz in the background. Really nice stuff.” – BROOKLYN VEGAN

"...They utilize any instruments (and collaborators) at their disposal to create haunting, dreamlike mood music [...] it is Perk's whispery, goosebump inducing coo that is especially beguiling and soothing throughout, as demonstrated on the Mazzy Star-ish "Slow Path," and comforting, hypnotic tracks such as "Tan Lines" and "Silent Woods." 
- THE BIG TAKEOVER

"This wise and wonderful duo takes a different tack, undercutting every swooning harmony and desperate (and sometimes self-parodying) lyric with tinny percussion, stabs or sheets of guitar feedback and the occasional left turn that keeps your first run through this album a particularly inviting challenge. In many ways it's a nod to the shoegazer movement, but one that builds on their influences rather than trying to mirror them completely." - GHETTOBLASTER

“…specializing in haunting folk incantations of a decidely lo-fi and sometimes psychedelic bent. Imagine a melodically-rich melding of Mazzy Star and A Silver Mount Zion and you're halfway there.” – TEXTURA

I’d like to call their sound lo-fi, ambient folk, but the distortion and thumping drums they use turn the intimate acoustic sketches into heavy, complete thoughts. The Beach House like vocals are often so frail, you think they’d break on the slightest touch, but the swirls, beats and strums provide more than enough support to carry the load." – HEROHILL

“Whether employing ambient synths and beats, acoustic guitar and voice or post-rock drones and squalls, they unify their songs with downbeat harmonies, narrative guitars and an uneasy ambiance.” - 8/10 - MONTREAL MIRROR
