Propelled by Natalie Carol’s "bracingly afflicted, mountain-vaulting dream-country yodel" (Rolling Stone), Valley Queen reemerges, flush with recognizable vocal power and newly advanced emotional resonance in the new single “Falling.”

Whereas their 2018 debut Supergiant dealt in the nostalgic language of rock, Valley Queen’s new music is borne of the endless present Carol experienced in her bedroom during lockdown, where time collapsed and the future needed to be created. Longtime member Neil Wogensen’s deft studio production elevates Carol’s most intimate musings to a cosmic scale, while Mike Deluccia’s pristine and exuberant percussion and synth arrangements hold it all down with pulsating immediacy. The result is a mystical space where past, present, and future collapse; a forward-looking, starry-souled record whose vocal approach recalls the choral harmonies of Judee Sill, supported by arrangements with a dancing spiritual fixation on rhythm in league with the Cocteau Twins.

Valley Queen has gathered comparisons as iconic as Florence Welch, Dolores O’Riordan, Neil Young and acclaim from top-tier tastemakers including NPR, Rolling Stone, LA Times, Stereogum, WXPN, Spotify's New Music Friday, and beyond. Valley Queen has toured alongside the likes of Social Distortion, Justin Townes Earle, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Laura Marling, and Heartless Bastards, while securing coveted festival slots at BottleRock, Pickathon, and Luck Reunion.
