Lovina Falls (21+)

Welcome to Lovina Falls, the latest musical project from veteran indie singer/songwriter Valerie Forgione. Valerie first made her name as the lead singer of Mistle Thrush, a band whose combination of indie rock drive, dreamy textures, and sparkling pop song craft made them a beloved fixture in their native Boston and beyond throughout the late 1990s and into the 2000s. Through their existence, Mistle Thrush shared stages with such luminaries as The Strokes, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Lush, and Slowdive; won numerous Boston-area music accolades; were featured in Billboard Magazine, and saw their music on TV show soundtracks. Steve Morse of wrote that Valerie has "some of the most versatile pipes since the dream-pop heyday of Kate Bush".

In the present day, Valerie has just released her first solo album, Calculating the Angle of Our Descent. All songs are written, arranged, and produced by Valerie, as she accompanies her voice with piano, analog synths, guitar, bass, organ, and drums. From the harpsichord-driven On Your Side, to the harmony-laden baroque pop of Back Of My Heart, to the percolating synths and 90s-style alt rock of Vaulted, Lovina Falls is truly the work of a singular musical vision. Valerie’s intimate and instantly familiar alto will make Lovina Falls welcome to fans of her previous work, while her new sonic and songwriting explorations will endear her to fans of such contemporary indie voices as Fiona Apple, Bat For Lashes, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sharon Van Etten, and Angel Olsen.
