About

After a selfreleased 7" single, in 1999 they recorded their debut album "Into Arsenal of Codes" what started an ongoing relationship with Trost. In 2001 (Vagabond), 2007 (A tempo! A tempo!) and 2013 (Container) Valina have recorded 3 more albums with Steve Albini in Chicago. On many shows and tours in Europe, USA, Russia, Israel, Turkey and South America Valina established a reputation of being an excellent live band and a dedicated following.
