Tender Forever Still…
November 18, 2007
December 4th will see the release of a new Tender Forever record entitled Wider on K Records. Melanie Valera continues her solo explorations of vocal layers, concrete images and forlorn sentiment with a bedroom aesthetic perfect for the mid-alphabet imprint. This short song quickly builds to a chorus and somehow, when she mentions “meeting after sound check” and “songs by the Slits,” you know those lines mean more to her just the words on paper. Fans of the Blow’s early, almost demo-quality sound will take heart that there’s someone else we can listen to while she’s developing a musical point of view. If “I liked their early stuff better” is something you say a lot, here’s another opportunity.
MP3!
