Can’t believe Valleys came out 6 years ago today! 🎂
Give it a spin or a stream today if you feel inclined.

The follow-up is coming. I know we’ve been saying this for literal years at this point, but we put a lot of pressure on ourselves after Valleys was received better than any of us expected, so we’re working hard to make sure the next one is (hopefully) as good. It sounds massive, we like it and hope you will too.
