![CHAD VALLEY COLLABORATES WITH TWIN SHADOW ON SINGLE [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4746162_lg.jpg)
Jonquil frontman Hugo Manuel released a solo LP under the moniker Chad Valley last year called Young Hunger . An explorer of balearic pop and overly sincere 802s dance music, Chad Valley is no stranger to hooks. A clear highlight from Young Hunger was the fruits of a collaboration between Chad Valley and the infamous Twin Shadow , a track called "I Owe You This". The result is something refreshingly poppy, dare I say infectious. The official video dropped this morning and [...]
A veces pasa que no puedes separar una canción de un determinado momento de tu vida, y a mí este temazo, como de atardecer playero sin fin, me pilló preparando la boda de mi hermano J. con la archifantástica I. Tienen suerte (no sólo mi hermano por encontrar una chica así): son suyos para siempre esos sintetizadores tan chulos, ese ritmo tecnotropical tan 1989, esos coros Eéeeeeeeee como de pastor llamando a las cabras, y ese segundo glorioso (01:36) en que entra la voz de la chica. " Now That I'm Real " fue, con diferencia, unas de [...]
Though named for a popular British toy company, Chad Valley is more than just a plaything Oxford, UK's Hugo Manuel. Also the frontman for the group Jonquil, Manuel has turned a couple of lo-fi solo EPs into a fully realized project of lush, summery synth-pop. Like Jonquil, Chad Valley features Manuel’s distinctive falsetto as it mines the sounds of the tropics and of the 802s, but here he tends more toward Balearic beat and psych-tinged electro-pop created by a table full of electronics rather than with a full band. Recently, Manuel released the official Chad Valley debut, [...]

Fall is in the air, and that crisp only means one thing. Football. The first week of the NFL starts this weekend with replacement refs. Why is the commissioner jeopardizing the integrity of the game over what appears to be chump change? The pissing contest in the end will only hurt the golden egg that the NFL is always trying to protect. In better news, Sunday night's Broncos versus Steelers' game will mark the first regular season game Peyton Manning has played in since 2010. Fans are elated with the fact that the seasoned veteran will be [...]

![Jonquil :: "Mexico" [Fort Romeau's Graceland edit]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4490566_lg.jpg)
Jonquil came late to the world music meets indie rock party. Arriving after Vampire Weekend , after Local Natives , even after Lord Huron and so many others, the band's tropical pop could quite reasonably have been lost in the collective shuffle of post- Graceland bands. Unless, of course, the band wrote songs with barbed hooks and choruses that skittered around like a runaway piece of ice on your kitchen floor. "Mexico," a song described by at least one close friend of mine as, "so close to being terrible while [...]
