Valley Maker (Austin Crane) has announced the February 19 release of his new album When the Day Leaves via Frenchkiss Records. Today he shares a taste of the album by way of new single “No One Is Missing.” Of the track he notes: “the video for ‘No One Is Missing’ was filmed on Edisto Island in South Carolina’s lowcountry by dustoftheground. It’s a lush, isolated place. The beach where we filmed is only accessible at low tide and is full of dead trees. I felt like that tidal flow, combined with the generally surreal and outside-of-time quality of the landscape, provided a spatial and visual connection with where ‘No One Is Missing’ is coming from as a song. I wrote the track as a way of grappling with the partiality and temporality of how we connect with one another, I guess as an attempt to collect and reflect on recent experiences of loss, love, leaving, returning, missing, etc. On that theme, while recent months of social distancing have often felt isolating, I’m continually grateful for how music and the natural world can remind us we’re not alone.”
Calling the album “atmospheric rural folk rock,” today’s single premiered via American Songwriter who chatted with Austin about the making of When the Day Leaves. Read the Q&A here
