There’s no escaping it this time But it’s fine No changing places in the line There are no waivers you can sign No dotted line No turning water into wine No silver lining No four-leaf clover No saving daylight when it’s dark You have no control and everything’s alright You’re all alone but everything’s alright Just play your role and it will be alright You’re on your own but everything’s alright There are no snake-eyes you can throw So you know No stitch in time when you don’t sew No rabbit’s foot to get you by You know why No double rainbow in your sky No winning numbers No crossing fingers No half-full glasses on the bar You have no control and everything’s alright You’re all alone but everything’s alright Just play your role and it will be alright You’re on your own but everything’s alright

about

After more than a decade of silence, Valley Forge are back with a new release, the new EP “Alright”, out now on Clan Analogue.

Valley Forge began making waves in Sydney’s electronic music scene in the early 2000s with their signature blend of synth-pop and alternative electro-rock. A string of releases on Clan Analogue helped build a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim for releases including their epic 2011 album Artificial Heart, the collaboration “Wayfaring Stranger” with Australian music icon Kamahl, and the single “Follow Suit” which included remixes by Boxcar and Single Gun Theory.

Their new single “Alright” is released as a 6-track classic 90s electro-pop maxi-single available on CD, download and streaming on all major platforms. It features four eclectic remixes of the title track, including one by Australian electronic pioneer Tom Ellard of Severed Heads, and the propulsive B-side “Rage-Fear-Love”.

“Alright” is a testament to Valley Forge's ability to create lush soundscapes with an anthemic melodic hook, shimmering harmonics, pulsating electronics and thought-provoking lyrics, all packaged within a tightly composed pop song structure. The track will also appear on the forthcoming new Valley Forge album, scheduled for release later this year.

Valley Forge frontman Freeman Lowell says, “Like a lot of other artists’ output from the last few years, :Alright” was seeded by the global COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns that affected the entire world. Its theme is that you have zero control over a great many things in life, and sometimes you simply have to keep your foot to the pedal and turn that corner, without knowing what the outcome will be.”

"We're thrilled to be back and to share our new music with our fans. We may have been quiet for the last decade but we never stopped making music. This EP, and the upcoming new album, hopefully showcases our growth as electronic producers and our willingness to push ourselves into a more speculative and pop-centric songwriting space.”

about

Clan Analogue image

Clan Analogue

The Clan Analogue collective was started in Sydney, Australia, in 1992 by a small group of people who were interested and active in electronic sound. Largely fuelled by the sore lack of live venues in Australia for electronic music and a lack of options for releasing recorded material, Clan Analogue was born out of necessity. ... more
