Valis - Cold Hands

Review by Erin Butler

Valis' latest album, Cold Hands, is a haunting and introspective journey through the depths of emotion. With a blend of post-punk and shoegaze influences, Valis creates a unique sound that is both melancholic and dreamy.

The album opens with the track "Cold Hands", a slow-building instrumental that sets the mood for the rest of the record. From there, Valis delves into themes of heartbreak, loss, and self-discovery. Tracks like "Echoes" and "Fading Away" showcase the band's ability to create lush soundscapes with layers of guitar and synth.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Solitude", a slow-burning ballad that showcases Valis' knack for crafting beautiful melodies. The song is driven by a simple piano riff and builds to a powerful crescendo, with singer Rachel Valis' haunting vocals soaring above the instrumentation.

Summary by Erin Butler

Cold Hands is a stunning album that showcases Valis' ability to create atmospheric and introspective music. It's a must-listen for fans of post-punk and shoegaze, and a promising sign of things to come for this up-and-coming band.
