A Filipina singer-songwriter who spent her formative years in southern California before gradually inching her way north and settling in Vancouver, Washington, Valdoria's molten-river voice has a way of carving landscapes. The volcanic force of her belting range and a seismic sense of rhythm create perfect terrain for her unique lyrical universe: unabashedly simmering, pushing at edges, forging something new. Her music draws from the ephemera of the everyday and elevates it, soulfully blending together 60s folk-rock lyricism with 90s alt-rock musicality. Think Joni Mitchell combined with Phoebe Snow and Fiona Apple, supported by a bass guitar.
