Indie News, News Updates, Rich Bennett

Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the release of the new single ‘Misty Valley’ by shadowy lounge-pop maestro Rich Bennett, taken from his forthcoming sophomore album On Holiday.

‘Misty Valley’ kicks off On Holiday in fine style. Influenced by the classic exotica of Martin Denny, the aching folk-pop of Fleet Foxes, even the conceptual sweep of The Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle, ‘Misty Valley’ is brimming with delicious breezy melodies and the buoyant vocals of both Bennett and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky. The single is a delicious taste of the wonders that lie waiting on the album.

“brings together the sophisticated pop soundtracks of Burt Bacharach and Ennio Morricone with the electronic detail of Stereolab and Delia Derbyshire…. If you’re a fan of retro-futurist pop such as the High Llamas then this will be up your aisle” – Proper Songs on Music for Underwater Supermarkets

‘Misty Valley’ is available now for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store. On Holiday will see its official CD release on July 29th with a digital pre-release on July 1st. Read a full press release here.
