Chad Valley - Young Hunger

[cobl04]

Ok guys. Don't know if this has been on anyone else's radar, but it has certainly been on mine.

For the uninitiated Chad Valley is Hugo Manuel, a indie/pop/synth/electro/producer guy from the UK.

His has some EPs, I think, but I haven't heard them. His debut LP Young Hunger is out at the end of the month but it is streaming right here right now - http://hypem.com/featured

This is the tracklist, take note of the guests!

1. I Owe You This (feat. Twin Shadow)
2. Tell All Your Friends
3. Fall 4 U (feat. Glasser)
4. My Girl (feat. Jack Goldstein)
5. Evening Surrender (feat. El Perro Del Mar)
6. Interlude
7. Up & Down
8. Young Hunger
9. Fathering Mothering (feat. Anne Lise Frokedal)
10. My Life Is Complete (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)
11. Manimals (feat. Active Child)

It's really good synth pop, very 80s, and I know we have a lot of fans of that genre here. Some of you will enjoy it more than I do. If you liked the Twin Shadow album then definitely check this one out.

I'll just leave you with Fall 4 U, which I've pimped about a billion times to little avail. One of four or five songs battling it out for my SOTY.

Ah damn it, I hate when you're right about things.

 

[cobl04]

I knew I'd win you over eventually

 

[bono_212]

Never caught you posting it before. Real life forces me to skim RMT more frequently than I'd like.

 

[bono_212]

Ugh, if I listen to this, I won't get to sleep until 11:30 and I need to be up at 5:00

 

[bono_212]

Well, I've heard 3 songs from this so far, and we may have a late-year contender for favorite album of the year. Fuck.

glad you're on board! I knew you'd love it.

 

[bono_212]

This is ridiculous. It's like someone was reading my thoughts for the music I really really want to make.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Yeah so I've been listening to Fall 4 U a fair bit over the past month or so.

Cobbler making a great discovery unassisted is such a novel idea, such a rare situation - and if it means he finds artists like Chad Valley, then I hope it starts happening more often.

 

[LemonMelon]

Terrible band name.

I like what I've heard though.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Terrible band name.

But it contains a fish pond!

I was so excited to finally be ahead of the curve for once

I've probably listened to Fall 4 U about 20 times since I first heard it. Ridiculously good.

 

[bono_212]

Finally had a chance to listen to the whole thing. Ridiculously good.

 

[Jive Turkey]

More like Chad Kroeger - Young Hunger. amirite, gang?

 

[cobl04]

Vom.

Jt, I think you'd really like this album.

 

[bono_212]

I can't help but think of Chad Kroeger every time I see this thread, ftr

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'll check it out Cobbler. That song you posted isn't half bad

 

[bono_212]

The track with El Perro Del Mar is hands down my favorite and reminded me that El Perro Del Mar has a new album coming out this year

 

[cobl04]

Fall 4 U now has a video. The dude looks NOTHING like you expected him to.

He looks like James Murphy and CoolIan's lovechild.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Man, you could do an ollie off that haircut.

 

[Axver]

Please tell me the Active Child guest appearance is brief and/or unobtrusive. Just because if I check this out, I'd rather not throw up when I get to the end.

 

[Catman]

Just listened to Fall 4 U. Cobbler, I am indebted to you for introducing me to something terrific. I must return the favor some day

 

[cobl04]

Just call me The King
