Album Description
Available in:
"Every Valley" is the third full length studio album by British art rock band Public Service Broadcasting, released 7 July 2017 through PIAS Recordings.
The group's third original album is a concept album which focuses on a topic of modern history, much like the band's previous work. The album's story depicts the history of the mining industry in Wales, more specifically chronicling the rise and decline of the country's coal industry.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 79, based on 7 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
User Album Review
Every Valley, an emotionally and texturally rich record which digs into the history of the Welsh mining industry and reflects upon the legacy of deindustrialisation in Britain. Combining archive clips and interview snippets with a sweeping post-rock score, the band gives new meaning to the notion of aural history as they weave a loosely chronological narrative that charts the opening of the pits through to the miners’ strike and the subsequent mass redundancies.
Raw, harsh, mechanical – this is how music inspired by heavy industry typically sounds. Every Valley however is lush and symphonic, more interested in expressing the human spirit of the mining communities than aestheticising the conditions in which they toiled. There’s certainly a degree of sentimentality afoot – with all the shimmering strings and twinkling xylophones there couldn’t not be – but the overall picture of the mining years is a nuanced one, a celebratory but critical overview of a pivotal period in British history. --- Reviewed by theskinny.co.uk.
