Valley, Chad Entirely New Blue LP Vinyl

Hugo Manuel's sophomore album as Chad Valley is an exploration in identify and a return to the places that comfort us, especially when we return to them a different person. Entirely New Blue was written between London, where he lived for years with his long-term girlfriend, and Oxford, the town that he came home to when their relationship ended. Unlike previous material and embodying the spirit of the music, Hugo's voice appears higher in the mix and rinsed clean of effects on most tracks. Similarly the production is starker, providing Hugo the space to do more with less.
