Juno Award nominated band Valley returned in 2024 with their most intimate and personal record yet. Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden via Universal Music Canada/Interscope Capitol Labels Group is an exploration of grief and resilience from one of today’s most exciting alternative-pop bands. Since forming in 2016, Valley have accrued over 1 billion streams globally, having appeared on viral charts in the US, Philippines, Korea, Japan and more. Along with their three Juno Award nominations, the band has also garnered praise from Consequence, Wonderland, American Songwriter and CBC. Helping prompt much of their global recognition was “Like 1999,” a gold certified hit that went viral on TikTok. Valley have also become known for their high-energy live shows, which have been brought to renowned festivals like Life Is Beautiful, Governors Ball, Slow Life and Wunderstruck as well as their debut US TV performance as part of Stephen Colbert’s #LiveAtHome session. Having opened for artists like Lennon Stella, Dermot Kennedy, COIN and the Band CAMINO, Valley’s latest album was born out of a three-year-old demo of the LP’s title track and was eventually written while members Rob Laska, Karah James and Alex Dimauro isolated in a cabin with executive producer Chase Lawrence of COIN. This will be the band’s first album without one of the founding members Mickey Brandolino. “Bass Player’s Brother” has sat comfortably inside the top 5 for 9 weeks, 22 weeks inside the top 10 at Alternative radio across Canada. The title track “Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden” was used in an episode of the Netflix global hit show Nobody Wants This staring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. October of 2024 saw the band embark on their first headlining tour of North America culminating in a hometown show at HISTORY in Toronto. After a short break over the holiday season the band took off for a tour of the UK and Europe in January 2025 with sold-out shows in London, Manchester, Amsterdam, along with stops in Paris, Ghent, Cologne, Berlin, and Warsaw. In February it was announced that the band had been nominated for Alternative Album of the Year at this year’s JUNO Awards in Vancouver. Next up, Valley will be headed to Asia bringing Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden to the other side of the globe.
