ED VALLANCE - KING OF SALT

Ed Vallance is a London-born musician and travel journalist (New York Times; Los Angeles Times; London Evening Standard) based in Los Angeles. Taking musical cues from classic British songwriters like Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Ray Davies, his third solo record, Midairis set for release in June 2018.The album was made at Vibromonk Studios, Brooklyn, with a few overdubs recorded at the home studio of Detroit-born producer, Mark Ephraim (Neko Case, Dead Meadow). Most of the songs were written over the course of a particularly brutal English winter, in the run-upto the Brexit referendum and the US election. This may account for some of the pointedly gloomy lyrics. It may also have had an influence on the stark production – Austrian drummer, Hari Ganglberger’s Krautrock beats; Japanese bassist, Kato Hideki’s subtly insistent basslines; and Vallance’s double-tracked acoustic guitars, and echoey vocal harmonies. Like the monochrome English landscape that inspired it, Midairis sparse and darkly beautiful.  Over the course of ten years as a recording artist, Ed Vallance has won the hearts of a host of taste-makers, including KCRW's Mathieu Schreyer and BBC Radio's Gary Crowley. His last record, Volcano, received positive reviews from The New York Times, Q, NME, and Brooklyn Vegan
