There’s a sombre tone to the latest single from Kassi Valazza’s new album ‘From Newman Street’ which is due out May 2nd via Fluff & Gravy Records, and via our friends over at Loose in UK/Europe, labels that have become a remarkable home for remarkable musicians – Loose and Fluff & Gravy have recently worked together on Kassi Valazza, Margo Cilker, Angelica Rockne and Jeffrey Martin.
‘Shadow Of Lately‘ finds Valazza trying to shake off repetitions in life, whilst at the same time hankering for things that have moved into the past. It’s not contrariness – more a reflection that the good thing of the past has become the tiresome thing of today. Speaking of the song Valazza shares: “Much of my last year living in Portland was spent walking through neighborhoods and keeping to myself. After going through a difficult breakup from a five year relationship, I found it hard to go out and be social. Keeping up with people became harder and I slowly found myself alone in my basement apartment, fearing the outside world, especially during the darker months of winter.”
