Release Notes:
VALE Industrial is a collection of finely-tuned
summery indie-pop songs, an unpretentious assortment
of music that doesn't strain the ears or require
huge levels of intelligence to understand.
The hushed tone to this 6 track mini-album makes it
a stirring and passionate listen.
From the opening strains of In The Long Run through
to the concluding track Vale Part 2, The Tenderfoot
take you on a gentle and lo-fi journey, via the
sounds of the Beach Boys, Hefner and Arab Strap.
Vale Part 1 epitomises the band's dreary but still
optimistic output, as singer Darren Moon's
despondent delivery gives the track extra depth and
attitude, the highlight of this brilliantly ambient
release.
