Being a performer for most of her life, Valentine learned her love of music through performing with her pop-rock band, Royal Street. Now going solo, Valentine is currently inspired by artists like Maggie Rogers, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lords. 

“Fever Dream” is a seven-song project encapsulating moments in Valentine’s life from the past few years. The EP takes an indie-pop route, elevating high moments with faster percussion and lower moments with guitar riffs. 

“These songs range from talking about falling in love, not feeling worthy of love, from feeling like you’re drowning in life, to feeling like you’re too much,” Valentine said. “Ultimately, this album was a way for me to talk through what I’ve gone through, and my hope is that someone can relate who might be going through a similar time in their life.”

Check out Viana Valentine’s “Fever Dream”, available now on major streaming platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud.

Find “Fever Dream” on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture Playlist on Spotify.

aSanTIS: ‘You Are a Part of the Highest Form of Creation’

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.

This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
