No Man's Valley
Chrononaut Cocktailbar/flight Of The Sloths
After releasing their cathartic dark psych blues epic 'Outside The Dream' in 2019 Dutch band No Man's Valley played a couple of shows and then the world stopped turning. In the midst of the global pandemic the band stayed alive by using modern technology to keep on writing and dreaming. It was quite ironic that as the band's members had found a new vitalization their flow was once again so rudely disturbed. And yet, this did not keep them from their goal. Slow but steadfast, mindful and in harmony with each other and nature, they proceeded their work. The path was as important as their goal, and so they kept on plodding, plotting, and working on their new album. Which turned out to become two short albums in one: the songs that were written separately from each other got bundled in 'Chrononaut Cocktailbar.' While after being happy to be back together No Man's Valley bundled all their live power into one godzilla of a jam song called 'Flight Of The Sloths,' verily a beast on its own. The two sides of the album perfectly shows the two wolves that are inside the band: one wolf likes to write songs with solid structure and melody, while the other wolf likes to go absolutely nuts when it comes to progressive creativity. This has always been the case for No Man's Valley, but never before was the contrast so stark, the dark and the light, the softness and the aggressiveness. In these two counterparts No Man's Valley have found their peace, and this album is the result of that. Comes on red marbled vinyl.
