Matt ‘MV’ Valentine – Preserves:

Description

In this life there are two kinds of people, those riding the vapour trail left behind by Matt Valentine (aka MV) and those left woefully unprepared to deal with navigating his slide out of the ether. MVP, or Matt Valentine Preserves is the viscous adhesive that’s draws all of MV’s eras together. Recorded, casked, and cured over the past eight years and brushed upon by those who orbit MV’s mist (Samara Lubelski, Mick Flower, J. Mascis, P.G. Six, Willie Lane, Erika Elder, Anthony Pasquarosa, Ryan Jewell, Coot Moon, and Spanish Wolfman) the record is a potent elixir that feels like it was siphoned wholesale from the fever dream of a sleeping child god. Tuned to the subconscious airwaves of miasmic melt, the record stews its eight tracks together into a set of space-blues that inhale and exhale with the cosmos. The quicksilver runs, mercurial blues sweats, and spectral drone drops find their way back to us. This is a midnight mass at the temple of time.
