Ilsey has announced her debut album, From The Valley, which will arrive this fall. To give listeners an idea of what to expect, she also shared another single, “No California.” The ’70s-inspired track opens the album and sets the tone with folksy, carefree energy.
The release comes complete with a road trip and scenery-filled music video. “No California” follows Ilsey’s previously-released “Heart Of Gold” collaboration with Bon Iver that also appears on the album and is a cover of the Neil Young song.
“From The Valley comes from a deep dark valley of the heart,” Ilsey said about the album in a statement. “A drive through that winding valley of self-doubt, longing, delusion, and ultimately hope, trying to find a way back home.”
According to a press release, Ilsey grew up around the inspiration of Laurel Canyon-era musicians and also loves Motown. She has also written for a lot of other artists, including The 1975, Kacey Musgraves, and more.
