With a successful run in their home country of Canada, sibling duo High Valley set out to make their mark on the States this year. Their current single, “Make You Mine,” reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and the brothers—Brad and Curtis Rempel—are hitting on all cylinders with their new album, Dear Life.
“We liken it to an illustration of a target. You have the bulls-eye, and ‘Make You Mine’ is our bulls-eye. Everything fits on the same target, but there’s stuff that leans a little more bluegrass and there’s stuff that leans a little more pop,” Brad tells Nash Country Daily about the album. “Every song on the record, you can hear it and say, ‘That makes sense. That sounds like High Valley. That sounds like the same guys that recorded ‘Make You Mine.’ I love people who are real. I think Miranda Lambert recording ‘The House That Built Me’ was such a real thing for her to do. I think Florida-Georgia Line singing the big party songs is very real and authentic for them. I think High Valley singing songs about bluegrassy acoustic things, about family and farming and faith and all that stuff is very real for us. As long as people think our record sounds real, then we’ve accomplished what we were trying to do.”
