Valice
Austin
Grant year:
2025
Complex, yet irresistibly danceable—Austin locals Valice (rhymes with release) craft a sound as vibrant and eclectic as the city they call home. Blending 90s alternative, 2010s indie electro, bedroom pop swagger, and a touch of 1880s jamboree, each song from Valice forges ahead with intricately controlled chaos, each bar more fantastical than the last.
