VALLEYHEART have announced a new album!

Titled Heal My Head, the upcoming album from the Massachusetts-based alternative rock trio is the follow-up to 2018’s Everyone I’ve Ever Loved and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Tooth & Nail.

Throughout 2020 and 2021, they assembled what would become Heal My Head at sessions at The Halo Studio in Portland, Maine, with longtime collaborator and co-producer Kevin Billingslea and at The Record Company in Boston. Kevin Billingslea and vocalist Kevin Klein co-engineered, co-produced, and co-mixed the album, with a portion of the record being self-produced by Klein at his home studio.

“At an individual and communal level, we deal with trauma and unsettling questions of our identity and existence,” vocalist Kevin Klein shares about the upcoming album. “From a lyrical perspective, I wrote this album to talk about and unwrap those things in my own life and relationships. When you open this door, there’s a lot of pain to sift through, so I’m trying to create a language for listeners to have those conversations. I hope it’s a platform for people, so they don’t feel alone as they go through life.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, VALLEYHEART have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Numbers. Speaking about the new song, Klein says, “The Numbers touches on the chase and validation of any set of numbers we assign in our lives – whether that be age, streams, likes, followers, bank account, weight, or any other quantifiable measure. But to be blunt – it’s specifically about streams and the music industry. And how getting caught up in the pattern of constantly comparing and leaning on the future of a bigger tomorrow steals you from today. I think much of the music industry has been distilled to bottom lines and monthly listener counts. If it were up to me, you wouldn’t see any ‘numbers’ on streaming sites at all. Just the album art and artist name. That’s what The Numbers is challenging. The first lines of the song were written after a conversation with my local convenience store clerk.”
