Canadian artist Valery Gore set out to claim new territory on her third and upcoming album Idols In The Dark Heart. Between the river’s ruckus and the slow settling of a branch-snapping forest, her muses were planted. Over the course of four years, she had a village. Every last bit of time and care pushed Gore’s musical ideas in dynamic and affecting ways, in which lush layers of organic instrumentation kissed the hand of electronic waveforms.
