Every Valley

A sort of post-rock version of Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood

A lush, sweeping ode to Welsh miners that peers into the lives of a proud working class that lived and died by the dank tunnels in which they methodically toiled.

The sense of wider importance to these stories is palpable.

Also, Broken Social Scene – Hug Of Thunder, Jupiter & Okwess – Kin Sonic, Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley, and Gil Scott-Heron – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised… Plus

Following their space race concept album, Public Service Broadcasting bring things back down to earth with the mining-inspired Every Valley.

(Play It Again Sam)

Every Valley triumphs thanks to an overabundance of songwriting ingenuity.
