Valerie Forgione’s latest single demonstrates her evolution from Mistle Thrush’s shoegaze territories into more textured, baroque-influenced terrain. “Light and Low” builds around a harpsichord progression that anchors the track’s hypnotic momentum, while Todd Demma’s live drumming adds genuine punch to what could have been another programmed affair.
The song’s layered approach works well, tremolo guitars pan across the mix while Forgione’s alto voice delivers lyrics about moving forward through uncertainty. Her vocal delivery strikes a balance between vulnerability and determination, never overselling the emotional weight. The production, by Forgione and David Minehan at Woolly Mammoth Sound is impressive for us, creates space for each element without losing cohesion.
If this track hits you like it did me, give Lovina Falls a follow, you’ll want to hear what’s next.
