TALLIES have a jangly sound that at times recalls The Smiths, The Sundays and other ’80s alt bands, but singer Sarah Cogan’s smoky vocals pull things into other territory” – BROOKLYN VEGAN

“Matching the songwriting prowess of The Sundays or Teenage Fanclub against the sheer lust for sound evident in the Cocteau Twins” – CLASH

“While they’re still in their relative infancy, you might want to get out and see them live, so you can say “I saw them when…” – The 405

Out July 6th via Hand Drawn Dracula // PRE-ORDER //

“There’s such an unnerving cinematic quality to Vallens. Dark yet melodic, lingering rock. A name borrowed from David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Music videos with knife-sharp storytelling.” ~ NOISEY

“a provocative and powerful work from an emerging band that’s less interested in upholding the status quo of any genre – If this EP is any indication, they’re moving into something deeper and weirder for their sophomore album, and it’s thrilling” ~ CBC MUSIC
