Clash Valian is the brainchild of Greg Merrell, an amalgamation of contemporary compositions, ethereal soundscapes, and garage-forged rock songs.Here's what some folks have had to say about their music:“In the world of modern music, where the cacophony of the conventional often drowns out the whispers of the extraordinary, Clash Valian’s “Degrees of Freedom” emerges as a compelling counter-narrative. Spearheaded by the visionary Greg Merrell, this album is an exploration of soundscapes that traverse the spectrum of human emotion, offering a refuge for the soul amidst the turbulence of contemporary life.“Degrees of Freedom” is an audacious blend of genres, refusing to be constrained by the boundaries that so often compartmentalize music into neatly labeled boxes. From the raw energy of edgy rock to the serene echoes of ethereal pop, and the comforting rhythms of laid-back lounge music, Merrell crafts a soundscape that is both variegated and harmonious. The use of over 20 different instruments across the album’s 21 tracks is not merely a display of musical versatility but a testament to Merrell’s commitment to creating a rich and immersive sonic experience.” - B-Side Guys<hr>Sam Cobra is a spacious force to be reckoned with in the world of contemporary psychedelic rock. They throw convention to the wayside, busting in with uptempo fire starters that kick up dust and turn it into a thunderous whirlwind of riffage." –NW Music Scene<hr>Miller Tracy is an up-and-coming musician who spent the last decade honing his craft across Nashville, Chicago, and Seattle.
