Indie-Folk, Melancholy, Mystic – Meet Vali Herrera

From the depths of the subconscious to the far reaches of nostalgia, Vali Herrera crafts a sonic world where the veil between dream and reality is impossibly thin. A Swiss singer-songwriter with a voice that haunts and heals. Her music is steeped in deep emotion, weaving Nordic influences, melancholic folk, and ethereal mysticism into an enchanting blend of sound.

Her performances are an invitation. A passage into the unseen, where fragility meets power and every note lingers like an unspoken memory. Whether in the studio or on stage, she conjures a presence that is both ghostly and magnetic, capturing the raw beauty of longing, loss, and lucidity.

Cold Shadow – A Lament in the Unconscious

Some songs speak to you; others pull you in. Cold Shadow does both. With its spectral melodies and delicate yet commanding vocals, the song moves like a lucid dream, unfolding with an eerie grace that is both intimate and cinematic.

What makes it special?

• It opens like a whispered confession, luring you in with breathless, aching vocals that feel almost too close, too personal.
• A sense of fragile beauty permeates the song, but there’s something darker lurking beneath—like the weight of an unshaken dream.
• Celtic elements weave their way into the fabric, giving it an almost timeless quality—a song lost between centuries, echoing through mist-covered landscapes.
• The production is deliberate, spacious, and immersive—you don’t just hear this track, you feel it pull at the edges of your consciousness.
• When the song swells, it’s not with force, but with inevitability—a slow, unfolding intensity that grips you and doesn’t let go.
• The melodies linger like a ghostly imprint, subtle but unforgettable, haunting the space between reality and reverie.

For this Rising Tones Sessions, Vali Herrera has made the shortlist for our March 2025 Monthly Pedal Giveaway. She is in the running to take home a Mosferatwo, a pedal that thrives on organic warmth, harmonic richness, and expressive dynamics—qualities that feel right at home in her sonic universe.
