Approved: Chad Valley – Fall 4 U feat Glasser
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 28 August 2012
Chad Valley’s Hugo Manuel, who last year released his resplendent ‘Equatorial Ultravox’ EP, has at last translated his radiant pop retroisms into a debut LP titled ‘Young Hunger’. It’ll feature special guests like Twin Shadow, Active Child, El Perro Del Mar and Glasser girl Cameron Mesirow, who voices the heartsick girl-in-love to Manuel’s contrite boy on first-heard LP track, ‘Fall 4 U’.
It’s a slow-pivoting, prism-like thing of pearly synths and ambrosial disco chords, and one that – when you factor in its marbling of Manuel and Mesirow’s faraway tenors – sounds really quite special.
‘Young Hunger’ is released by Loose Lips on 19 Nov.
