Review

Step into the misty woodlands of "Through the Deep, Dark Valley," where Maggie and Tyler Heath lead you through an enchanted maze of folk storytelling. Each song overflows with spiritual searching, heavy with echoes of regret and the hopeful hush of redemption. The swirling harmonies between brother and sister flicker like fireflies, especially on tracks such as "The Valley" and "The Truth Is a Cave," drawing countless shades of light and darkness on the listener’s heart. Guitars thrum, percussion thunders, and suddenly you’re swept up in a pilgrimage across sun-dappled hills and hollows.

The Oh Hellos conjure a world thick with symbolism, weaving together ornate lyrics that dig deep into theological contemplation. Their rich folk sound, haunting yet buoyant, feels like a lantern-guided walk through a midnight forest—full of beauty and the thrill of finding grace where you least expect it. Exploring the journey from creation, through faltering steps, to the moment of embracing forgiveness, every track feels part of a larger tale spun with empathy and wonder. "Through the Deep, Dark Valley" stands as a beautifully crafted odyssey, perfect for those who crave music with depth and soul. - Noelle
