ARTISTS TO WATCH IN 2013: Chad Valley

Think GEORGE MICHAEL for the 21st century, and that will take you somewhere in the vicinity of CHAD VALLEY. If this doesn't entice you, maybe his collaborations with the best on the electronic scene will.

'Fall 4 You' features the vocals of Cameron Mesirow, aka. Californian GLASSER, and is the first single released off the album Young Hunger. The video sets the mood in quiet suburban city streets in the middle of the night, the only lighting from street lamps and the car's headlights.

'Tell All Your Friends' has shades of EMPIRE OF THE SUN, and is psychedelic electro-pop in its purest form.

With the line-up of guests on Young Hunger including TWIN SHADOW and ACTIVE CHILD, 2013 looks like a promising year for Oxford-based CHAD VALLEY.
