“Dialogue” by Valise – A Song/Band Review

     Death Cab for Cutie is releasing new music. If you care, listen to the Dallas-based band Valise. Bands on the ascending portion of their popularity graph are always more interesting than bands that have reached their pinnacle. There is a greater energy to the band, a stronger appreciation for every opportunity, and a better chance for fans to have a desirable vantage point during live performances. And if the band is generously allowing free downloads, you can’t ask for more.
     Valise uses vocal processing similar to that “other band,” so the similarities are amplified. But Valise incorporates its own characteristics and those of other bands. As an example, the first 25 seconds of “Charlie Gray” provide an Arcade Fire introduction to the portion that includes vocal processing (a vocoder, we believe).  
      Valise will release the album “Young Bloomer” on February 24. The free downloading will likely end on or before that release date. The members are Vince Penick, Jared Travis, Casey Newton and Ricky Johnson.
