Valar
Valar were pitched to me as a combo between Radiohead and… I guess it was suggested that they just sound like Radiohead. I don’t like Radiohead. I must be one of a kind if the Last.FM charts are to be believed. While older material may have somewhat, slightly, a little bit, maybe resembled Radiohead barely, the new tracks don’t really have that vibe.
Valar pride themself on a cracking live show and an attention to production detail so it’s worth taking the time to appreciate the solid ambience of their music. It’s staggering that a three piece can produce music with this sort of weight. Listen, then go see them play. They’re a Sydney band so chances are friends of friends are friends with them.
Here is the full five track EP for your aural pleasure. I recommend track two, Wolf I.
You can catch them on the 3rd of July at the Excelsior or on the 5th of July at the Annandale.
