In Valour

March 22, 2011

IN VALOUR is the product of a musical alliance between Cork songstress Valerie Hely and Sydney based electronica artist howard. They work from opposite ends of the globe to create their own unique sound, forged from a blend of cultures, styles, tastes and experience.
Their single ‘Into the Light’ is available as a free download on http://invalour.bandcamp.com/ and was mixed by Dublin music producer Stephen Shannon (Strands). Live shows are facilitated by Sean Breathnach who takes over laptop duties, as well as backing vocals for howard.
IN VALOUR have been tipped as one of ‘The Acts to Watch in 2011’ by Dan Hegarty, 2fm on Heinekenmusic.ie Here’s what he had to say about them;

“You could say that In Valour are a geographically challenged band….However, the thousands of miles between them hasn't obstructed their creative chemistry. They've concocted a sound that fans of
Cocteau Twins, Sigur Ros and Glasser will adore… beautiful stuff!”
