New Orleans-based Val Hollie mesmerises with sprawling psych-pop single “Siberian Summer”
Peter Campanelli and Ross Farbe create deeply engaging psychedelic pop as Val Hollie.
“Siberian Summer”, premiering today, is one of six tracks the pair recorded in their New Orleans home studio for the upcoming Val Hollie EP, due for digital and cassette release on 13 November.
The song delights in its own dazed revelry as it harkens back to post-punk sounds of the 1980s. Campanelli’s pleasingly groggy vocals loll though the mix before surrendering entirely to the noisy soundscape: easy-going guitar fuzz sprawled over a bed of roaring distortion.
Val Hollie appear live as a quintet, rounded out by Tyler Scurlock (synth) of Sharks' Teeth, Andrew Landry (guitar), Dexter Gilmore (bass), and Evan Citanovic (drums) of Glish.
