Canadian alternative pop group Valley have delivered one last single before the release of their new album Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden.

Released today, “Let It Rain” is dedicated to the band’s fanbase known as Val Pals. Vocalist Rob Laska said this about the song, which can be heard here:

“‘Let It Rain’ is a song about change and overcoming. 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.”

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.”

Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden is slated for an August 30 release via Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
