Our Take

Valley Maker's latest offering, "Rhododendron," is a breath of fresh air in a sea of stale indie folk. With his soothing vocals and poignant lyrics, Valley Maker (aka Austin Crane) takes us on a journey through lush, melodic landscapes that are as captivating as they are comforting.

From the twinkling guitars of opening track "A Couple Days" to the dreamy atmospherics of "Beautiful Birds Flying," Crane's songwriting is both introspective and uplifting. His ability to blend personal storytelling with universal themes is nothing short of masterful, making each track feel like a heartfelt confession.

"Light On the Ground" is a standout moment on the album, with its infectious hooks and shimmering production. The song's chorus is destined to be stuck in your head for days on end, a testament to Crane's knack for crafting earworms that are equal parts catchy and meaningful.

Throughout "Rhododendron," Valley Maker proves that he is a true talent in the indie folk scene. His ability to evoke emotions with his music is unparalleled, creating a sonic landscape that is as evocative as it is enchanting. So, if you're looking for an album that will soothe your soul and make you sway along with every note, look no further than Valley Maker's "Rhododendron."
