We recently had the privilege to check out the new single “Tragedy” from Lovina Falls . Lovina Falls is the brilliant art project of Mistle Thrush’s Valerie Forgione. The new single arrives before a headlining show July 6 at The Rockwell in Somerville.

“Tragedy” is a gorgeous lush track that is a beautiful example how Valerie Forgione effortlessly turns lyrics and sound into breathtaking art.

“‘Tragedy’ is loud and crunchy, but it’s authentic and still comes from the same place,” Forgione says. “There are similar elements that exist on Calculating the Angle of our Descent, but here they sit more at the forefront. I’m not a particularly angry person, but part of me is a little fed up with how people treat each other. So, I guess this is what comes from being fed up.” 

Though “Tragedy” exists in some unfamiliar lyrical territory for Forgione, where she reacts to an increasingly tense world around her instead of staying focused on the beauty that exists around the distant margins, the sound is still entirely her own. It has a fierce sense of forward motion, swelling with emotion and urgency that broadens her own brand of eclectic alternative rock.  

The themes and sounds that Forgione brings to life through Lovina Falls , feels like a well written novel and with “Tragedy” we are hanging on every word.
