There are no palm trees in Oxford, England, so Chad Valley builds his own tropical paradise on bedrock of lush electronics. Evoking a sense of both sentimentality and conquest, Hugo Manuel layers strokes of futuristic R&B atop glittering harmonies to provide the ultimate vivid listening experience.

The tracks on Chad Valley’s debut EP are about giving in to wanderlust, drifting across eras and places. Watching the sun go down and up, then down again. Never wanting to come back.
