RELEASED: MONDAY 13TH APRIL 2015
LABEL: DOUBLE DENIM

Valerie Teicher AKA Tei Shi is set to release her new EP ‘Verde’ and it’s basically great. The Brooklyn based songstress has honed her craft to produce a truly three dimensional sound over the five tracks. “Can’t be sure” is the wardrobe to Narnia and Valerie’s layered, airy vocals slowly beckon us to enter. “Basically” will get your blood pumping with its pulsating synths, soaring vocals and unforgettable hook while “See Me” in contrast is buoyed with light creamy vocals and a slow driving beat which keeps the track afloat.

‘Go slow’ is an outer body experience built on breathy vocals and oscillating synths. ‘Get it’ is the last track from the EP and describes exactly what you should do. Valerie performs vocal acrobatics throughout the record over minimalist production to create a genre defying sound, a tei-rific one may we add. ‘Verde’ is released April 13th on Double Denim.
