Valis' Debut Single "Schadenfreude" is for the Leather Daddies

A gloved hand in the dark.

A gloved hand in the dark. A kiss you can't take back. The echo of a whip in an empty room.

A cover of the Wax Idols song, "Schadenfreude" is the debut single from Valis, a collaboration between Chicago's J.A. Foxx and Jeremiah Meece, one half of The-Drum. Gated drums, moans, wails—it's erotic, industrial, and, like any masked lover, dangerously close and unreadably distant at the same time.
