Brix Smith has spoken to NME about her debut solo album ‘Valley Of The Dolls’, as well as the darker sides of Manchester and California and watching Gary Linekar soil himself on-pitch.Recorded alongside producer Youth, the album is a brittle yet melodic punk assault which the former member of The Fall described as “an absolutely cracking album where every song was a breath of honesty, and a mixture of light and truly filthy darkness”“It’s the best thing I’ve done since The Fall,” she told NME. “I can die happy now”.The record is the first to bear Smith’s solo name after many years of working with bands including The Adult Net and The Extricated. “For so long I’ve been a part of a band or hiding within a band,” she explained, “and I just thought it’s time to fucking stand up and own it and own what I do.”She continued: “It’s time to fucking put my head above the parapet and stand up there and say I am Brix Smith.

I’m just speaking my truth. I finally feel that I’ve at last tapped into the truth meter without having insecurities blocking it of trying to be this artist or that artists.

It’s just me with no mask.”Smith pulled in some favours too – the album features guest appearances from The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs and Shakespeare Sister’s Siobhan Fahey.
