The track sees the outfit return with an emphatic statement.

‘T.I.K.’ or Thoughts I Keep, is the new single from US rock collective Valleyheart, and a blistering example of the dynamic and engrossing sound that they possess. The track features clashing, all-encompassing guitars and an impactful and memorable chorus that invokes comparisons to artists like Citizen and Balance and Composure who are known for their melodic bouts of raucous yet impossibly catchy catharsis.

There is a darkness to ‘T.I.K.’ which is uncovered as you follow its narrative. Singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Klein delves into his mind and exposes its complexities and paradoxical nature as he exposes his inner workings and invites whoever to watch. The track has a sinister, almost volatile nature to it that is only counteracted by its sheer power and inherently melodic nature.

Singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Klein shares, “I wanted those tensions and weight paralleled in the instrumentation; hence this probably being the heaviest and hard-hitting track.” Clashing percussion and resonating guitars build to create a raucous and energetic atmosphere.
