When you buy a Mental Home album, you know exactly what you’re getting! While no new Mental Home album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Asia. Vale isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Vale.
Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think is my favorite song on Vale.
There is gorgeous mix of music in Southern Calm Waters. Aevin’s Cage had me crying as I was able to relate so well. The Euphoria makes a person feel astounding. Voice of Mental Home in The Vale is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. My Necklace is the more seemingly obscure song on Vale that bear up best to repeated listening. I find myself hearing bits of Christmas Mercy here and there throughout my waking hours. Charming song, great melody.
