We were introduced to Monument Valley (aka London’s Ned Younger) towards the end of 2011 when we posted Round And Round from his EP Tongues.

He will release his new single Your Cover Blown via Rug Records on April 23rd and while that remains a while off, we can promise you it will be worth the wait. In the meantime we can tide you over by streaming the B-side for your listening pleasure. This is The Very First Alarm, a gorgeous and intimate torch song built on gentle orchestral layers and scalpel sharp lyrical insights as the bitter end of a relationship is unflinchingly and compellingly navigated.

For those who love Galaxie 500 or Nick Cave, even Richard Hawley, you will find much to enjoy and admire…
