REVIEWS
"With Deshecha, Yaara Valey explores the strangely intuitive duality between expansiveness and intimacy. Open spaces made personal, or the personal made open. The result is political in the most pressing sense, and spiritual in the least ostentatious—a spirituality that emerges from the textures of things, a newfound belief that has always been present to those who care to look." - Various Small Flames
"a sound that could remind you of something from outer space. I’m left feeling interested, amazed and excited to hear what Yaara Valley has to offer in the future." - Music Dances While You Sleep
"Dabbling within ditch and gloom, glitch and doom, Yaara Valey leads a seance of one with lute, breath, and a mastery of mixing chanted loops, reverbed out tribal percussion, delay-heavy pluck, and passing tech anomaly. Her dynamic, contralto delivery is only matched by an expertly layered mile-high pile of harmony & counterpoint; the end result is nothing short of bewitching." - Cassette Gods
"Meditative, spiritual thrum of ambient pop" - Wild Patterns
"the Portland, Oregon, high priestess of ritualistic freak folk...Valey tends the fire she has built and continues to draw in more followers. Let’s join up." - Cassette Gods
