chad valley


Hugo is back and it's about goddamm time! As if the new track from Paradise wasn't uplifting enough, Chad Valley's "Real Time" lifts the bar even higher.


Official out next week (although we've have it on blast for the past couple), Chad Valley, aka Hugo Manuel's debut LP Young Hunger is now available to hear in full.


Chad Valley is now readying the release of his debut LP, Young Hunger, and teasing us with, "Tell All Your Friends", another new track from the album.




After two successful EP's, Oxford's Chad Valley (aka Hugo Manuel) is ready to release his long awaited full length, Young Hunger, and we can hear new track "Fall 4 U" too. 


North East based multilingual group MAUSI release the very apt "Sol" on August 6th (yes yes, you may have noticed it around the turn of last year too), and as if that wasn't enough, they've enlisted the help of Chad Valley to give the track a subtle makeover.



Our love for all things Jonquil and Blessing Force is no big secret, we need more of the joy their music encompasses, so enter the new video for Point of Go stand out track, "Run".



Coming off the back of the their One Hundred Suns EP, Jonquil have a new track available for download entitled "Mexico".




We have a stream of Chad Valley's latest single, "Now That I'm Real" for you today.



Brooklyn four piece Hooray For Earth have unveiled their new video for album title track "True Loves".



Cometh the season, cometh the man. As hords of brits prepare to flee to the White Isle, Hugo Manuel readies a new EP entitled Equatorial Ultravox.




FINALLY..... first one of the year, it's a North East band for us to give some praise to.


The sexy sounds of Jensen Sportag's "Everything Good" gets a video today, courtesy of Panaframe (previous vids include Dirty Gold and Cool Runnings to name a few) aka Spaniard come Londoner Lluís Panadès Julià.



Here we have a new video from NY group Hooray For Earth with 'Rolling/Nectarine', directed by Johnny Woods and features vocals from Zambri.


Today we get news that Chad Valley will release a debut EP on November 16th on Cascine records. With that comes a new track, and ever more experimental, feel good balearic chimes (with a few vintage synths too for good measure) in the form of 'Ensoniq Funk'.



Oxfords Jonquil make a welcome return from other various side projects (here & here) with a new EP entitled 'One Hundred Suns'. Scheduled for a November release the 8 track EP will coincide with a small tour of the UK on these dates.



Yet more beautiful balearic sounds to guide us through the fading summer months. In case you didn't know, Chad Valley is the side project of Jonquil frontman Hugo Manuel (click here for our interview with him).


Following on from our first feature with Trophy Wife, we're keeping the Oxford theme running with this one too. Currently moonlighting with his side project Chad Valley, we asked Jonquil frontman Hugo Manuel a few questions about the band and how they're getting on at the minute.


Chad Valley is the side project of Jonquil (Stay tuned for a feature) frontman, Hugo Manuel. If your familiar with the Oxford based band then you will be accustomed to the experimental folk tunes that they made their name with.
