Valet Feat. Kurty Durty music video Somethin Bout Them Boots
The solo project of Portland's Honey Owens ( who plays with bands including Jackie O Motherfucker and Nudge ) Valet focuses on droning soundscapes dominated by Owens' vocals and guitars. She recorded the songs that make up Valet's debut album, Blood Is Clean, from January to May of 2006. Describing her approach as "channeling sounds from an unknown place," most of the songs were recorded in one take, augmented by a few extra tracks. Blood Is Clean was originally released by Yarnlazer, a CD-R label run by Owens and White Rainbow's Adam Forkner (with whom Owens records with as World). Kranky reissued the album in spring 2007. The aptly named Naked Acid arrived the following year.
