Black Valley Moon - Vampirella (Featuring Ray Vega) 7" EP (Pi Records)

For this 3 song 7” EP, this Florida based band, led by guitarist/songwriter Sam Williams (also guitarist in Down By Law) has joined forces with vocalist Ray Vega. While Black Valley Moon has focused primarily on instrumental rock n’ roll songs with a twangy, spaghetti western vibe, they have branched out a bit here, with two vocal songs and one instrumental. Adding a vocalist hasn’t changed their sound though - the two songs are excellent tunes with the title cut, “Vampirella”, bound to make many Halloween playlists in the coming years. It has a dark vibe, with vocals in Spanish that match the music perfectly. The sole instrumental cut is “Laisse Tomber Les Filles”, the France Gall classic that’s been covered by April March, Arcade Fire and Belle & Sebastian, but rarely without vocals. To top it off it's pressed on cool split color vinyl - half is blue and the other half is black!
