"VALET - “Blood Is Clean”
Stream Download
from Blood Is Clean (Kranky)
Free-Psych // Out April 16

Am told that Oregonian Honey Owens makes her living trolling through Salvation Army centers and the like, recovering vintage clothing and reselling it all on eBay. Not unsurprising then that such discovery of threads of gold amid heaps of moldered finery translates into her recording project as Valet; her debut disc, Blood Is Clean, has a similar tinge of hermetic alchemy. Clean was recorded solo in her house on junked instruments, presumably late at night, as one can hear a night train bellowing past on the title track. Through the disc, there is an alternating current of comfort and unease in this blackness, as if being seduced by your babysitter. The effect is different if you imagine her being 16 versus 60, but Owens plays both roles, to where the sensuous and the sinister are impossible to parse. Over a turbid, clenched guitar strum, she incants that “my blood is clean but the devil’s in me.” Over such disquiet, the guitar grows incandescent as a flare, as caustic as colitis. Valet’s noise becomes less about strings and more about the history of electricity itself, seething as a live wire though the darkest night, writhing without insulation nor coating. - ANDY BETA
