chad valley are the personal outpourings of one hugo manuel, the balearic inclined vocalist of the band jonquil and one of the founders of blessing force, oxford's very own in-sourced art collective. taking a more electronic approach to sunset vibes, hugo has been making quite a splash. in his short 20 show career he's already played in budapest, belgrade and istanbul. he's supported amiina, the mountain goats and oxford scene chums foals and been on every blog you can think of from gorilla vs bear to pitchfork. with last year's ep garnering support from huw stevens and the guardian the new ep looks set to expand his evergrowing fan base.
