Valetta

"An intricate and galvanising alternative triumph"- THE UNSIGNED GUIDE

Their “wavy mix of indie rock and psychedelic vibes is so unique”- BBC INTRODUCING

‘Valetta are the hastily assembled barricade standing between the listener and a
tsunami of unrestrained cerebral energy and beatlesque harmonies, relentlessly accelerated by the tectonic shifting of time signatures. The band frantically assemble these raw
ingredients into indelible psychedelic shanties that cascade towards the beleaguered fishing
village that is Manchester’s psychedelic rock scene.’

It was during the dark days of 2020 lockdown when Manchester based art-rock
quartet Valetta discovered the psychedelic, cinematic sound exhibited on debut single <a href="spotify:track:7D7bnb9iKFauJYBq4Gk4vu" data-name="Irregular Low">Irregular Low</a>. The following releases that would form the backbone of debut EP <a href="spotify:album:07U5QU8pa7iteeuItHYaN1" data-name="Your Future in an Email">Your Future in an Email</a> received frequent airplay on BBC Introducing and saw the band
named The Unsigned Guide’s Spotlight artist for October 2021.

Valetta have now announced their second EP God Lives Underground which sees the
band explore new sonic territory and grander lyrical themes, drawing influence from <a href="spotify:artist:1HOeqtP7tHkKNJNLzQ2tnr" data-name="Everything Everything">Everything Everything</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb" data-name="Radiohead">Radiohead</a> and even Aussie psych-rock favourites <a href="spotify:artist:6XYvaoDGE0VmRt83Jss9Sn" data-name="King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard">King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard</a>.
