Alex Valentine
Alex grew up in Camden Town, London. He recently moved to the Welsh mountains. It is in this relative isolation that Alex wrote and recorded ‘Tardis Heart’, his third album, a beautiful collection of stripped back heart wrenching songs.
“It’s an honest, emotional record that didn’t rely on big production. We made it at home with friends and local musicians… it was simple and spontaneous… and sounds like something from the 70s…”
‘Tardis Heart’ was mixed by Adam Fuest at Twin Peaks Studios on the top of the Brecon Beacons in the National Park.
Alex is married to the novelist Jenny Valentine and can count Orlando Bloom as one of his famous fans, he said; ‘Alex Valentine, I really love his sound, his lyrics are just fantastic and he has a really interesting sound and vocal quality’ Orlando Bloom
Valentine’s ability to craft intelligent, developed pop songs is undoubted and his honest vocal, akin to George Harrison or Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis, is on show throughout the album. His intense heart-on-sleeve lyrics reflect his personal experiences. The softness of the vocal invites obvious comparisons to the likes of James Taylor or Paul Simon.
