In the Valley Below

History

Mendel and Mattson are from Memphis, Tennessee, and Muskegon, Michigan, respectively. Formerly of the band Sabrosa Purr, they met in the Los Angeles music scene, and played in several local bands before starting In The Valley Below. After a trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas, they formed a new bond and decided they needed to write music together. In the Valley Below began in 2011 as a studio project, and they self released a five-song EP before the end of that year.

The band has supported North American and European tours for White Lies, The Airborne Toxic Event, and Cold War Kids. With their touring live drummer Joshua Clair, they have also performed at Reading and Leads, Rock en Seine, Pukkelpop, The Great Escape, SXSW and Austin City Limits music festivals.

The Peaches Remix EP containing remixes by Passion Pit, Kele Okereke of Bloc Party, Dirtcaps, We Love Machines, Death by Misadventure, Omniflux and Owlle was released on June 3, 2014.
