VALI S.C (VALI pronounced Valley) is the project of Los Angeles’ Kenneth Elkin. Elkin, formerly of Sextile, creates hazy, futuristic vapors, and weaves together a Golden State-inspired smoke that is nostalgic enough to be appreciated by the overlooked, unsentimental listener who recalls a sunnier, more mystical California.
‘To Set The Sea in Wolves Teeth’ EP, to be released digitally and on cassette tomorrow (February 28) via Cercle Social Records. Elkin brings a guitar saturated, five-song opus that builds a transformative sonic bridge from the dark path of crime and drug use of Elkin’s past into a new era of love, light, freedom and ultimately recovery. Taking influence from My Bloody Valentine, early 4AD and coldwave, the new EP is also dedicated to the memory of Eddie, a former Sextile bandmate who passed away from a drug overdose.
VALI S.C is a rebirth and a proper burial of the past transgressions and an exciting reintroduction to the artist.
