The band elaborates, “A Vending Machine exists to give things on demand. It doesn’t have needs or emotions. People only approach it when they want something. A source of comfort, attention, validation, or entertainment. It’s love that depends on output, not connection.”

It’s been nearly two years since Valley released their third studio album, Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden. To help usher in their new era, the band will be making a series of live appearances across Canada this summer. Keep your eyes and ears open for more new music soon.

Packed with clever lyrics and a feel-good sound, “Vending Machine” is your fix of signature Valley that you’ve been longing for. Give it a listen below!
