Herself
is the moniker of multi-instrumentalist
Gioele Valenti
, also known as
JuJu
in more recent years (Fuzz Club) or as part of the psych project
Lay Llama's
. Herself's work was described by critics as the harmonious meeting between
Sparklehorse
,
Gravenhurst
, and
Will Oldham
. Valenti's songwriting takes inspiration from low-fidelity apocalyptic folk, crooning and pop; boasting a rather extensive discography. Well rooted in tradition, his music often ventures in the realms of subtle experimentation.
Rigel Playground
prepares the listener for a journey through cosmic folk, in which traditional Brit pop flirts with an alt vein, as if the
Beatles
and Sparklehorse would meet the torments of
Nick Drake
and the intimacy of a
Mike Scott
. Continuing a long list of illustrious collaborations (
Amaury Cambuzat
of
Ulan Bator
,
John Fallon
of
The Steppes
,
Capra Informis
of
GOAT
, among others), the prestigious guest on this record is
Jonathan Donahue
from
Mercury Rev
, a group of absolute prominence in the international indie panorama, which in addition to having lent his voice to the single "The Beast of Love" -- as Herself says -- informs the essence of the entire record. Not surprisingly Mercury Rev chose Herself to support them during their Italian tour in 2019.
