Both are valuable. Ourfull-length debut Supergiant was written from a lot of wounding,but Chord of Sympathy plays more like a love letter out to theworld. Writing this one, I had more access to my inner love, whichI wanted to share as a source of comfort for people who listen toour music. Supergiant’s yin has been answered by Chord ofSympathy’s yang.”– Natalie Carol, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter for Valley QueenChord of Sympathy,the sophomore album from LosAngeles-based band Valley Queen, is a dynamically layered sonicuniverse of intense range. Here, Carol’s inimitable vocals are asfearlessly fluid as ever—ethereal to thunderous in a note—andfully consuming. Whereas 2018’s Supergiant channeled pains ofthe past, Chord of Sympathy is borne of the endless presentCarol experienced in her bedroom during lockdown, where timecollapsed and the future needed to be created.The album marks a definitive transformation in Valley Queen’sapproach to writing, arranging, and producing. Making art througha global pandemic, and in the wake of an original band member’sdeparture, the group rerouted their roles. Instead of sticking totheir individual instruments, the trio of Carol, Mike Deluccia, andNeil Wogensen moved around, trying on different hats, sharingthem, and reinvigorating the Valley Queen sound in a style newlyand truly collaborative.It was Wogensen’s first time producing for Valley Queen. His deftstudio touch shapes the overall texture of Chord of Sympathy,elevating Carol’s intimate musings to a cosmic scale. Delucciaco-produced a number of songs,while also contributing pristinepercussion and exuberant synth arrangements throughout.“We kept it all in-house, out of necessity, ” Carol explains.“You can hear the experimentation in these tracks, the diligence and play.It’s the sound of our band breaking free. ”Chord of Sympathy reveals itself with the layered allure of aRussian doll: the album as a whole is one love letter, but eachsong inside is its own note. It opens with “Falling,” a track that’s mystical glow sets a supernatural tone for the rest of the album.“Someone shared a quote from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche withme soon after we recorded this one, ” Carol shares. “It goes, ‘Thebad news was, I was falling. The good news was, there was no ground.’ I think this song is about that. What you think is theground is the trap door. It was the first song Mike, Neil and Iarranged as a three-piece in the studio. It kicked off a whole newera of sound-making for us. ” On the jaunty, earnest “Nobody Ever,” Carol stretches her heart outwards: “Now nobody’s ever gonna love you/ More than I do / If love is a language / My words are the sounds on your ceiling.”“Pavement” is addressed to the girls in LA County youth prisonswith whom Carol worked as a creative writing teacher, andgrapples with the notion that none of us are free until all of us arefree.“Cassavetes,” based on a quote from actor, director andscreenwriter, John Cassavetes, is a message to oneself: “It’sabout the illusion of selfhood, how we essentially put on costumesand posture in our identities to find some sort of ground in agroundless reality, ” says Carol. “Ultimately, the full span of the selflies outside of our intellectual capacity. Trying to become‘ourselves,’ in an intellectual sense is, perhaps, a more trivialpursuit in the midst of a deeper reality.” Elsewhere on the album,she explores the difference between poetry and songwriting, andwhere they meet (“Pelican”); past lives (“Fairy Wing”); and turninginward in order to come back renewed (“Curse of the Unknown”).The through line of each song is a sensation Carol experiencedwhile penning “Knife In TheTrunk”: “Feeling strong but soft and unstoppable in love.”Valley Queen’s vibrant new heartbeat resounds across the album,a forward-looking, starry-souled collection of songs that wraplisteners in a warm and hopeful embrace.“I didn’t coin the phrase‘chord of sympathy. ’ It comes from Hazrat Inayat Khan, an ancientsufi mystic, ” Carol shares. “Writing this album, I wanted toembody such a notion: the chord of sympathy, a sound connecting us all.https://youtu.be/M9LPdiwPv2Q?si=9vM7LKhRVSZkoz2r - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/costa-mesa/valley-queen-with-switch-mongo/100001981618272597 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, theatre, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 15.58, max: 15.58, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Costa Mesa - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Wayfarer - **lat**: 33.6427847 - **long**: -117.9340078 - **full address**: The Wayfarer, 843 W. 19th Street, Costa Mesa, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Valley Queen with Switch Mongo - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a37da9feeaae69030e66c4905889ae183758aa19902c45fda35431ff8370ad9b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8f624b-gmir.jpg?v=1769536903 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Valley Queen with Switch Mongo being held? - **A:** Valley Queen with Switch Mongo takes place on Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Wayfarer, 843 W. 19th Street, Costa Mesa, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Valley Queen with Switch Mongo? - **A:** Tickets for Valley Queen with Switch Mongo are priced at USD 16 per person.
