Let’s run it back again. It’s 2026 and Matt Valentine has returned to the AD orbit. Between a recent Lagniappe Session and the release of All One Song, we’ve been revisiting Furniture Music For Evening Shuttles, a record at the very center of the Tower Recordings story.

All One Song :: Matt Valentine on “Berlin”
Here to talk about “Berlin” with us today is someone we’ve been fans of for a long time now—the mighty Matt Valentine. MV has been making beautiful noise for over three decades now, from Tower Recordings to MV & EE (with his partner Erika Elder) to various solo excursions and collabs. For the past decade, Matt’s primary focus has been Wet Tuna, which also features Erika and bassist Jim Bliss. The latest Tuna LP is called Vast — and you’d be hard-pressed to come up with a better title for this collection of strange and funky flights.
Matt Valentine :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview
The latest Wet Tuna LP is called Vast — and you’d be hard-pressed to come up with a better title for this collection of strange and funky flights. It’s a wide-open, far-flung album, deeply textured and ridiculously detailed, but somehow spacious and inviting. A psychedelic micro-galaxy/macro-dose that teems with life and imagination. Close to a decade in, this is the fourth proper Wet Tuna offering (not counting an array of more “under-the-counter” situations), but the project is just another whistle-stop on the Matt Valentine express.
