Chad Valley released this song as a free download today to promote his current tour with the equally awesome Keep Shelly In Athens. A typical Chad Valley track featuring his signature full bodied production and distinct vocals, “Real Time” is a giant nostalgia bomb erupting in your ears. Make sure you catch the two synthpop powers on tour, see the schedule below.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving week. Here’s a collection of a few remixes perfect for you turkey–or Tofurkey–coma. Chad Valley sedates Queen of Hearts “Warrior”, Poolside give their day disco take on Laid Back’s “Fly Away”, and a trancey remix of The 1975′s “Sex” by Hackman. Enjoy it with some leftovers.
It’s not always the case when two great artists get in the booth and you come out with gold, but this time you do. Hot freakin’ pink gold. Two of our favorite artists are on this massive track from Chad Valley’s soon to be released full length Young Hunger. ”I Owe You This” allows both Hugo Manuel (Chad Valley) and George Lewis Jr. (Twin Shadow) to show off their unique and exceptional voices. On first listen it was questionable whether George would be able to hold his own after Hugo absolutely goes off, but then, of course, he kills his verse as well. Give it a few dozen listens.
Chad Valley will be releasing his new album Young Hunger on October 30th just in time for your Chad Valley Halloween costume to be relevant (mind the suspenders and hair)! Check out the upbeat cut “Tell All Your Friends” in which Valley brings his distinct vocals back to the front over a retro-flared hip-hop beat. Enjoy!
Chad Valley dropped a new track about a month ago via his new label Cascine entitled “Fall 4 U”. It features guest vocalist Cameron Mesirow (better known as Glasser) and is originally a bit of a slow burner as the two sing of a love affair. Swedish producer Dan Lissvik’s take on the song is much different giving it a worldbeat backdrop in lieu of electronic synths and beats. Listen to the original HERE.
Chillwave, Electronic, Fav Tracks, Missed in 2011
This one could be a missed in 2010, Chad Valley definitely should have been posted here a long time ago. But like I said things happen. In addition to being a part of indie rock outfit Jonquil, Oxford based musician Hugo Manuel also records under the name Chad Valley. Manuel released the EP Equatorial Ultravox earlier this year to great reviews. The second effort of the bedroom production project is both subdued and huge at once. It would be easy to label it chillwave and move on, but where many artists of the genre rely on haze for their sound Manuel uses it to merely loft his hook-driven tracks higher and higher. Listen to standouts from Equatorial Ultravox “Now That I’m Real (How Does It Feel)” and “Fast Challenges” and his recent remix of The Drums.
