Valerie Forgione returns with her project Lovina Falls and a new song called “Light and Low”, released on Friday, June 13. The track blends electronic elements with harpsichord and steady rhythm. Later that night, Lovina Falls will play at Deep Cuts in Medford with The Daylilies and RoseR.

The song explores moving through change and letting go of old ideas. Forgione says: “‘Light and Low’ is about recognizing that as time goes on, it’s ok to let go of old and ‘historic thinking’ to create a new path through and out of the Thicket of Now. It’s about knowing that when things change, the path is not predestined. Change the change. Move with conviction, but head gracefully into the unknown, light and low.”

Lovina Falls began in 2023 with the album Calculating the Angle of Our Descent, written and produced by Forgione. She plays piano, synths, guitar, bass, organ, and drums on the recordings. The project has drawn comparisons to Fiona Apple, Bat For Lashes, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Elastica.

Before Lovina Falls, Forgione was the lead singer of Mistle Thrush, a Boston band that played with The Strokes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Lush, and Slowdive. The band received local recognition and national press and appeared on television soundtracks.

In 2024, Lovina Falls became a live band. They performed in the Rock and Roll Rumble and opened for The Chameleons. A new album is scheduled for release in September 2025.

You can hear Lovina Falls on Spotify playlists like Dream Pop Essentials, Indie Rock Road Trip, and Fresh Finds.

Lovina Falls could tour with artists such as Blonde Redhead, Alela Diane, Torres, Warpaint, Sharon Van Etten, or Marissa Nadler.
