VALLEY DROP THEIR SELF-DESCRIBED SATURN RETURN SINGLE “LET IT RAIN”

22 AUGUST 2024 (TORONTO, ON) Toronto-based alternative-pop band Valley comprised of Rob Laska (lead vocals, guitar), Karah James (vocals, drums), and Alex Dimauro (bass) have released their latest single, ‘Let It Rain.’ The track is the fourth single from their upcoming album, “Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden,” set to release on August 30th via Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada.

Drummer and vocalist Karah James describes ‘Let It Rain’ as a “Saturn Return” song, symbolizing major life changes.

“’Let It Rain’ is a song about change and overcoming,” says band frontman Rob Laska. “It’s very much dedicated to the band and how it’s been the one constant in our lives through love and loss. To the people we’ve become, to the people we’ve left behind and the people we have yet to meet. Acceptance of growing old and learning to be ok with that is at times a difficult conversation to have with yourself. Being in a band and specifically in the music industry, it can at times feel like a storm hanging over your head symbolizing that it’s too late. Who said you’ve run out of chances? It’s about letting all those feelings come out and taking them for what they are, which often results in you realizing that you have so much life to live ahead of you.”

Laska continues: “The whole album but specifically ‘Let It Rain,’ feels like us just playing a song in a room together like we did when we were teenagers. You can really feel it in headphones. There are moments that only happen once, and it builds to this sonic release that makes you wanna scroll through your camera roll and cry. It’s a special song and one of the only ones that makes me cry on command when listening to it. There’s a piece of Valley in that song that will forever stay there.

We dedicate ‘Let It Rain’ to our fans, our “Val Pals.” We love to think about how much we’ve grown and changed with you by our side”.

Their active radio single “Bass Player’s Brother” is currently top 20 at Canadian Alternative Radio.
