5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 18, 2008

By	Kyle Sacks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album has been dominating my rotation since it came out. I just can not stop listening to it (I'm listening to "Fire" right now). This album is deeply psychedelic. Whether ambient, or noisy, Honey Owens manages to keep a very unique and breathtakingly beautiful atmosphere through out. The thing that really stands out about Naked Acid though, is that, unlike other psychedelic music I listen to, it is very emotional as well. You can tell that every bit of this record is very personal to Owens in some way (especially the previously mentioned "Fire").

Basically, I would beg anyone who enjoys blues or ambient or psychedelia to give this record a spin. It's kept me warm and glazed for the last two months, and there is no indication of that stopping. goodnight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honey is a Very Busy Girl, June 3, 2008

By	Gracie Houston (Santa Cruz, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Valet is Honey Owens, an extreme over-achiever and busy artist with her hands in all sorts of different ventures. She not only produces, writes and creates her own music, but also runs a vintage store called Rad Summer in Portland (Oregon not Maine), operates a CD-R label called Yarnlazer with her boyfriend Adam Forkner and has helped and contributed to so many artists over the years that there is too many to mention.

She has gone on tour as a member of Atlas Sound, while also playing opening slots with her own Valet project. Did I mention this is a busy girl? Naked Acid is her second release and it is psychedelic, ambient and on the experimental side of rock. She mixes her electric guitar, tribal percussion and personality just like she did on her debut Blood is Clean,. Honey is the best at writing, not just songs but mind-altering journeys.
