    Nature stands a good chance of being one of those great one-off records fans still talk about years down the road.

    A bold, kaleidoscopic funnel of sound, Valet's rich return is worthy of celebration.

    Valet's third LP is proof that hazy guitars and dream-pop vocals aren't just for smoke-filled basements. When done right, anyone can take the journey and float with the music rather than get buried inside.

    Transporting and pastoral, Nature is a beautiful culmination of Owens' artistry.

    It’s been seven years in coming, but Nature has most definitely been worth the wait.

    Like their peers and forebears, Valet create simple music that feels expansive. Only here, the swirl of fuzz and echo isn't an exit from terrestrial woes, just a comfortable place to take stock for a moment.

    The overall vibe is naturally more intimate than before. [Aug 2015, p.81]

    It's bright and lovely stuff, but I miss the darkness. [No. 121, p.61]
