Hugo Manuel | The Alternate Side

TAS Interview (CMJ Preview): Chad Valley

Posted 9-28-11 by

British singer, songwriter and remixer-in-demand Hugo Manuel has been very active doing double duty with two projects: his band Jonquil, which just finished recording a new album, and Chad Valley, his more experimental, electronic-leaning, solo alter ego. As Chad Valley, the Oxford-based Manuel, who wraps a North American tour with Active Child this week, has garnered enthusiastic praise for his most recent EP, Equatorial Ultravox. The Alternate Side caught up with Manuel to chat about his multi-tasking musical life and you can catch this intriguing, fast-rising artist when he plays the CMJ Music Marathon next month. He'll also join Friendly Fires and Theophilus London for a gig at Terminal 5 on October 26.
