Pinwheel Valley unveiled a cascade of neo-classic electronica consonance in their Go Your Way EP
Pinwheel Valley exhibited their most cinematic sound to date in their two-track EP, Go Your Way, which launched on November 28th
In the opening title single, the frantically paced neo-classical piano keys cascade within the arcanely diaphanous atmosphere. Hymnally timbered vocals sporadically weave in, leaving introspective mantras to linger within the sublimity-soaked score, marking a new wave of alchemy in the signature Pinwheel Valley sound. At the mid-way mark, the composition echoes nuances of orchestral art rock with ambiently off-kilter time signatures that amplify the thematic sense of confliction within the viscerally affecting piece.
Track two, Run Wild, is a confessional counterpart to the opener, which juxtaposes the neo-classical elements with undercurrents of trip-hop-leaning leftfield indietronica, ushering the invitation to get swept up in the momentum of the artfully arranged instrumentals as they veer ever closer to an intense crescendo of filmically industrial-esque discordance.
Each note in the EP is poised to ensure the listener’s surrender to the flow of the evocatively arranged installations of unfeigned expression, emboldening them to explore the depth of their own emotions, guided by abstract lyrical imagery.

Written by: Pinwheel Valley (formerly known as KAIS)
Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Pinwheel Valley (Qais Khoury) takes the complexities of the human condition as inspiration for his fusionist sound that sonically melds indie, psych, soul-infused blues, rock and folk. At the outset of his music career, he addressed global topics before turning his attention to the drab difficulties and profound beauty of being human and lyrically dipped into meta poetry.
As a lover of the metaphysical, Pinwheel Valley’s work consists of finding the balance between natural inclinations and the demands in an ego-driven late-stage capitalist world. His wanderlust tendencies have seen him gracing global stages since the early 2000s as an independent touring artist. In 2014, he took part in the Mayor of London Big Busk and graduated with a diploma in Music Production and Sound Engineering from Point Blank Music College.
He toured Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle with a full band in 2016 and 2017, received an honorary mention in the 2016 International Songwriting Competition, a Canadian Best Out of Province nomination at the 13th Annual Toronto Independent Music Awards and a Lyrics Finalist position in the 2017 USA Songwriting Competition.
In 2021 he was interviewed by BBC Radio London host Robert Elms for his seminal 2018 single, Take Me Home.
Currently, Qais works from his personal and commercial recording studio, Hot Soap Studios, in Cyprus, where he continues to work on his profoundly explorative music that challenges society’s constricting constructs that inhibit actualization.
“In a time when it is impossible to hear anything but aggravated polarized opinions, Pinwheel Valley’s intellectually humanistic approach to music is the breath of fresh air that our souls are crying out for.” Amelia Vandergast – A&R Factory.
