The Great Valley
2010 - In the Silver Dream

Genre: spooky beach pop
Label: The Spooky Town

Great new record by The Great Valley, a band we had reviewed before. Again some sort of spooky, spacy, lo-fi pop tunes which makes you feel like wearing a halloween ghost costume all the time.
Full of reverbed vocals, wobbling synths and great melodies.

"Spooky Town's pretend pop duo The Great Valley are back with their first full-length since 2008. In the Silver Dream has the same dedication to spookiness and twisted pop grooves, but spins it more towards the carnival than the haunted barn. Wow! These songs tilt and spin like a too-scary trapeze clown and hypnotize you unreal like a night at the circus. Recorded by the band on 80s equipment in an abandoned house. Synthesizers and pitch-bent guitars. Mysterious, puzzling lyrics about the silver screen, UFO abductions, and some mystic misty waterfall. Dense, layered pop confusion on brains-pink vinyl. Edition of 250, $13 + shipping."

Btw. correct me if I am wrong, but there is another band called "The Great Valley" and they did stuff like AOL Sessions and Katy Perry coversongs and you should not mix them up with the spooky town band.
