London duo Hanging Valleys is out with a new EP that is near breathtaking in its tenderness. Thom Byles and Michael Phillips describe their music as “ambient-indie,” which is both accurate and woefully insufficient as an expression of what they do. Byles and I connected by email last week. How did you meet, and what … Continue reading Hanging Valleys – Behind the Backs of Houses
