There's nothing quite like folk to soothe a hurting soul. Turn today to Valley Maker's 'Instrument', a beautiful, pastoral blend of sounds. It's another single to be taken from next month's album When The Day Leaves.

Fans of Buck Meek and Big Thief should tune in and bliss out to the beautiful vocals of Valley Maker himself Austin Crane. He pours his tender vocals into the world, imploring himself - and everyone else - to keep the faith.

Hear it and see its matching video:

"Through mixing mediums and blending human and natural worlds, we wanted the ‘Instrument’ video to visually be in conversation with what we created for ‘Mockingbird,’ and with the landscape of the album cover," Crane said. 

'Instrument' follows the release of 'Mockingbird' and 'No One Is Missing', all pieces of the forthcoming album When The Day Leaves.
