| | Treble: Valet - Life on the Installment Plan |
 | | Through a little research, however, I concluded that the first Valet, the second Valet and the one I recently discovered are all the same band. |
 | | Valet (all three of them) hails from Minneapolis, power-pop hub of North America and home to greats like Husker Du, The Replacements, The Minutemen, Prince, Semisonic and newly discovered punk rock pranksters and labelmates The Plastic Constellations. |
 | | The reason I bring up all of the famed city's musical offspring is not so much that Valet sounds like all of them, but that they carry on the tradition of making finely crafted and enjoyable indie pop. |
