Valley have officially re-released their debut album MAYBE on vinyl marking its 5-year anniversary. This special edition comes as a double gatefold clear vinyl LP featuring new artwork and eight bonus tracks from the original pressing including two previously unreleased demos. The album is available now via Capitol Records / Universal Music Canada.

Karah James (drums, vocals) reflects on this milestone, saying:

“It’s been five years since MAYBE. This record changed our lives. We wrote and recorded it in Mickey’s parents’ basement in the suburbs of Toronto, with no idea what we were doing, but we longed to figure it out, to become experts at …whatever it was. But when it comes to creativity, being an expert isn’t the point.

MAYBE was an experiment, a discovery, a beginning. It was only after making three more bodies of work that we realized how important it is to approach art with a beginner’s mind. Being new at something can be frustrating; we all want to become masters right away. But there’s something powerful about letting go of what you know and creating like and amateur. The early stages of anything, raw, uncertain, and precious, can never be recreated. That’s why this album is so special to us.

Through MAYBE, we met so many of you. It took us around the world for the first time. We saw songs we wrote as teenagers and in our early 20s become symbols of growing up, songs about first love, the complexity of the world, life, death and everything in between. Over the past five years, we’ve realized how much this era of our band shaped the way we think about time, growth, and what it means to connect with others.

MAYBE you’ve graduated school, started a new job, lost loved ones, or experienced countless other milestones with this album by your side. Whatever the last five years have looked like for you, if Valley was even a small part of your journey, we’re honoured. Thank you for making us part of your life’s soundtrack”.
