Your fave local pop band Valley are back in a big way: they've announced their sophomore album, previewed by new single "Throwback Tears."
Lost in Translation gets found on June 23 via Universal / Capitol. It follows their debut full-length, 2019's MAYBE, as well as a handful of EPs.
"MAYBE will always be our teenage diary, our coming-of-age story, our first love and first record," bandleader Rob Laska explained in a statement. "Lost In Translation is those same best friends navigating their mid-20s and questioning 'what now?…what really matters to us?' and what might've been lost along the way."
He continued, "Between MAYBE and now, we've done more soul searching together than ever. We've travelled the world, we've accomplished a lot we never thought was possible. We've followed every single path to get nowhere and everywhere. It's a very caught in a thought and seeking album. It poses more questions than answers. It's honest, it's confusing, it's pop, it's nostalgic, it's black and white, its colourful, it's unpredictable, it's simple, it's Valley, Lost In Translation."
Of lead-off "Throwback Tears," drummer Karah James added, "It's the moment you build a bridge, one snotty Kleenex at a time, and get over it to find a pot of gold at the end filled with self-love, growth and epiphany." Coming in just under the two-minute mark, the bite-sized break-up bop sees Valley swing open the door into the world they're building on the new record.
