Renny Conti releases new single, “Valley Ford,” the track is his first release for Mom + Pop Music. The song the multi-artist’s first release since his self-titled debut album, which drew comparisons to Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens for its emotional depth and raw sincerity. The song is paired with a visualizer, shot on black-and-white film along a stark coastline, is as haunting and evocative as the track itself—featuring intimate glimpses of Conti as he quietly explores the landscape.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Conti shares, “Valley Ford was written after a trip I took to visit my parents at their home in Sonoma one winter. My girlfriend and I took their car up the coast through Bodega Bay, wearing my parents’ trench coats, and walked down some rickety stairs through the fog and rocks to the ocean, and on the way back, I got an ocular migraine. I couldn’t see anything and it started storming.

It was initially recorded for my last record, but it wasn’t fully complete at the time. After showing the unfinished version to some friends, I realized it just needed a couple more elements to be finalized. The lap steel and lead guitars in the middle and the big fuzzy blown out guitars at the end really brought it together and were the cherry on top, in my eyes. After those were added, I loved it.”

Following the success of his debut, Conti will join Samia on tour this fall, and is set to perform at Pitchfork Festival in both Paris and London later this year, with a string of EU and UK tour dates to follow. But first, catch him live in his hometown at Night Club 101 on September 12th, where he’ll be performing alongside Hudson Freeman.
