Quickly rising indie project Pinwheel Valley returns with an introspective and incisive new jam, “Can’t Hear A Sound”. 

Swift in their emergence in the alternative space, there’s a modernity and a nostalgia alike to the sound of genre-spanning band Pinwheel Valley. Jordanian-Canadian singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Qais Khoury fronts the project, backed by a band of excellent musicians, lending to a soundscape that melds together indie-electronicism and folktronica. 

The outfit’s new single, “Can’t Hear A Sound”, provides an emblem of Pinwheel Valley’s appeal. Produced and written by Khoury, the track finds a delicately piercing outlook on the current state of the world, told atop glistening instrumentation that consumes and compels. The cut is lifted from the group’s forthcoming EP “Hello From Afar”, shared via Hot Soap Records, and due on 28th November. 

On the release, Khoury shares: “”Can’t Hear A Sound” is a song of bloodlines and soil, of war and the restless pull of home. It is a cry carried on the wind, calling to kin who have wandered astray, drawn into circles that could never hold them. A plea for their return to the ground where their fathers lie sleeping. It is both invocation and vow — a promise to shield them, body and soul, whatever the cost, and to guard the earth that holds their roots. The song does not turn away from the truth that the land itself has been altered — that war has crept to our own shores, reshaping the very fields we swore to protect. The silence is no longer peace but the ringing echo of bombs, a quiet so loud it haunts the ear. Yet in the midst of this devastation, the song reaffirms its oath: that to remain bound to one’s roots is the only way to live honestly, to find a way through the world without becoming lost.”
