Vanish Valley hail from Los Angeles and offer a lovely mix of rootsy folk and hazy country psychedelia that has quality stamped all over it. Their MySpace page says they have a (presumably) self-titled album due out later this month on the 27th.

The two tracks we’ve heard are destined to become regulars on the MM playlist. Become The Night chugs along on the back of sparse, but utterly effective percussion with a plaintive vocal that is reminiscent of Mark Everett fronting Murder By Death. By contrast Bad Things is a short, mournful lament over being used by the Devil as “the sun slips down the ceiling“.

Both wonderful tracks and we look forward to tracking down the album in three weeks time.
