Classic Alternative Sound from The Valery Trails

May 31, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Part Australia, part Texas…that’s the story of The Valery Trails. Their sound, well, it’s going to take you back to classic 90s radio sounds, filled with a solid melody and distorted guitars. The chorus of “you are ok, we are ok,” is catchy too, so you’ll have something to sink your teeth into while you jam this one. Think of bands like REM or maybe a happier Dinosaur Jr and you’ll no right where this group stands. They’ll release their new LP, Chameleon Bones, on August 5th, so look to the end of your summer for this rad release.

This Eskimeaux Tune is a Grower

April 1, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The first few times I ran through this Eskimeaux track, I struggled a bit. The opening to the tune is soft, almost too casual in its delivery. Then I jumped forward, getting right to the rocking part of the track. Sure, it’s not the most legit way to go about it, but it put the whole song in perspective, which eventually won me over. You’ll especially want to wait until just after the 3 minute mark, where there’s a brief, yet explosive burst of musical joy. This is just another sign of things looking up for the band as they prep the release of OK via Double Double Whammy on May 12th.
