The debut release from Portland, Oregon's Honey Owens (Nudge, JOMF, et al.) under the name Valet. Recorded by and large in single, live takes over a five-month period, the songs are at once spare and expansive; exploratory, yet deceptively simple. A mix of alien-psychedelic-blues jams, Voodoo drumming, and shamanic dream music.

Naked Acid is the second solo release from Portland artist Valet, aka Honey Owens. She states: "These songs were inspired by the Pacific Northwest landscape, semi-conscious dream states and the idea of one's DNA code being accessed as eternal memory.

Track 1 is a static beach journey duet with Adrian Orange, and tracks 3, 4 and 5 are collaborations with Mark Evan Burde [ read more ]
