    EPS.49 Synthwave Stories: A Chat with Kai from Valley Lights on Music, LA, and Inspiration
    Feb 1 2024
    Robbie [00:00:00]: synth pop, it's coming for you. Hi, I'm Robbie. It's Chatting Tracks. Let's Talk Music. Let's Talk Music indeed. Welcome to today's episode. On this channel, I love discovering new artists and new bands. And I got reached out to by a record company while ago and said we've got this great new artist. Robbie [00:00:19]: We'd love you to check him out. His name is Valley Lights, but his real name is Kai. And I said, what does he do? They said, like, 80 synth pop. So they sent the album over. I played it. It's Fantastic. He does an amazing cover of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, and his new album, 2 Lane Harway, just dropped. There's links in description for both. Robbie [00:00:36]: It's so eighties, in fact, that you could bury it in the ground, get your mates over, dig it up, put it on the turntable, and they wouldn't know it wasn't the eighties. He's got an amazing way of keeping the old style, but making it contemporary modern all at the same time. He writes all his own stuff apart from the cover of Dreams, obviously, and he's just got that real flavor for the eighties. He's a fantastic guy, and I just had to have him on just to talk about his new album and the single Dreams. If you can, like and subscribe. If you've done it already, thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it because it lets me talk about music all day long. And if you got anybody you know that you think, actually, you know what? You should talk to Robbie. Robbie [00:01:06]: Send them over to me, and I'd love to have a chat with them. I love discovering new heists. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. It's fantastic, and I'll see you on the next one. Tada. Growing up as a kid, was your house quite musical? Was your parents into music? Is that where your influences come from? Kai (Valley Lights) [00:01:20]: No. I mean, I I definitely got some. My dad, not so much. He was always pretty mellow. I know that he liked The Who a lot, but beyond that I mean, Badfinger and actually, no. I I guess I would credit my dad with turning me on to Fleetwood Mac, and I I Love them. And, you know, if you listen to the album, I did a cover of Dreams. And, my mom was more so. Kai (Valley Lights) [00:01:46]: She was a huge Doors fan, and, I definitely credit The Doors as, like, a huge inspiration and Jim Morrison. And, So I definitely did pick up some from my parents, but they weren't you know, they were not as as openly passionate about Music is like I am, for example. I feel like if I had a kid, I'd be like, alright. Now we're listening to this. And and do you know the story about this band and blah blah blah? But, yeah, I picked up a few things and and definitely thankful for that, especially for the Doors. I mean, I love those guys. Robbie [00:02:21]: I mean, a brilliant band. I I mean, to this day, to me, underrated completely as well. I still don't think they get credit. They deserve to me. I mean, to me, they were one of the 1st prog rock bands as well, the way they sort of take the keyboards off and do the leads and stuff like that. And to me, Yeah. To me, America created that. No. Robbie [00:02:38]: It wasn't the the English bands. It was the US bands that did it. Kai (Valley Lights) [00:02:42]: Yeah. No. Raymond's Eric was Insane. And, like, I I really feel like, musically, it was kinda like, obviously, Jim was the poet and the Singer, but I think musically, like Raymond Zarek and the fact that he was a organ player really created that unique sound. And I got to see the doors of the 21st century, like god. It was probably 15, 20 years ago at this point. I don't know. But, It was, Ian Asbury from from, Robbie [00:03:13]: what is it? From the Cult. Kai (Valley Lights) [00:03:15]: From the Cult. Yes. He was singing, and that was cool. But it was just so cool to see Robbie Krieger up there. You know? He's, like, 70 years old, and he's got his, he's got his Gibson, and he's just up there shredding and and seeing Raymond Zarek. Yeah. It was it was awesome. Robbie [00:03:31]: I mean, they've been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I I just love the tours. I mean, lyrically as well, when you when you look at the lyrics of Jim, it's just mind blowing. The sort of it it's like a pre runner to Morrissey from The Smiths, the way there was, like, 2 meanings to each lyric. Kai (Valley Lights) [00:03:45]: Yeah. Robbie [00:03:46]: And you can take it each way. The only thing that does annoy me, though, is they sort of look him as this rock god rather than this amazing poet. Kai (Valley Lights) [00:03:53]: Yeah. Well, no. I know that was always a a constant gripe. It's like he almost gets stripped of his artisticness and his tivity because he's just sort of like the stereotype of a rock sex god kinda guy, which which, you know, I think is Cool. But at the same time, I don't think he gets his artistic flowers the way some other people do. Robbie [00:04:15]: Do you think the the doors would have worked if they were from New York? Kai (Valley Lights)...
