Led by Jordanian-Canadian singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Qais Khoury, Pinwheel Valley is a project born of deep introspection and wide-eyed exploration. Their latest single, Werewolf, which comes along with a fantastic music video, proves it. Produced and written by frontman Qais Khoury, who also co-mixed the project alongside Andreas Matheou and released via Hot Soap Records, this song is an introspective anthem for those grappling with inner demons born from societal neglect.
"Werewolf is the closest thing I ever wrote to a Coldplay song. If you like early 2000s Coldplay albums, this single is right up your alley," Qais tells us about this new single and music video, which is about the average working-class man who feels like an outcast in society, a man who has developed an inescapable, uncontrollable urge to turn violent and destructive, much like a werewolf. "This transformation is fuelled by the ongoing neglect and mistreatment of those who have the power to help but choose not to. As a result, he's caught in a constant struggle between the good and evil within himself."
Pinwheel Valley, whose single Your Superman debuted at No. 13 on the US iTunes Alternative Chart and has got more than a hundred thousand streams on Spotify on tracks including Willow, continues to evolve into a genre-blurring soundscape that fuses indie soul, mellow alt-rock, and folktronica. Werewolf, which blends vulnerability with volatility, demonstrates the potential of this musical project in which feelings, emotional depth, and attention to detail in both sound and visuals result in a very strong identity.
