the debut album by scottish synthpop band chvrches on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl

two years on from marius lauber aka roosevelt’s debut album, his sophomore effort young romance, released september 28, sees the dj, producer and vocalist break free from the dance floor and step out into the light, a transition he makes effortlessly as he asserts his place in the upper echelons of guitar and synth-pop royalty. having taken some time since his eponymous 2016 debut to tour tirelessly and pen remixes for chvrches, glass animals, rhye and more, this sophomore record began in his hometown of cologne before being finished in los angeles, where it was mixed by chris coady (beach house/grizzly bear/future islands). here, roosevelt covers the trials and tribulations of love, finding ‘home’, touring and losing touch, propelling himself into uncharted territory, both sonically and aesthetically.

hugo manuel is better known by his musical alias chad valley. a product of oxford’s prolific creative community, chad valley has amassed a catalogue that spans four studio releases, numerous collaborations and dozens of remixes. his 2010 debut — a self-titled exploration in swirling synths and sunburnt melodies — laid the groundwork for 2011’s equatorial ultravox, which gave his downtempo productions a decidedly more pop-leaning twist. it was with equatorial ultravox, and his 2013 album young hunger, that chad valley’s profile sprung forward, strengthened by a string of key touring slots supporting the likes of erasure, chvrches, active child and passion pit, and by his collaborations with el perro del mar, glasser, totally enormous extinct dinosaurs and twin shadow. after releasing 2015 s sparkling entirely new blue and continued touring extensively, as he now prepares to release his third full-length album in 2018. imaginary music includes the previously released singles “up again” and “la in august,” both of which bolster one of the strongest batches of material chad valley has yet delivered. the vinyl release includes a download code.
