From the Mouth of the Sun present ‘Valley of the Hummingbirds,’ out October 13th through Lost Tribe Sound. The new full-length album feels congruent with their catalog work while also representing something slightly different. These compositions were written for the dance performance of the same name by Greek choreographers Danae & Dionysios. The run of performances took place at Staatstheater Braunschweig during spring 2022. Since then, Aaron Martin and Dag Rosenqvist have spent a good deal of time adapting these long-form works, approaching it more as they would a proper album release.

BEST OF 2023 - MUSIC FOR THE FILM BEHIND CLOSED EYELIDS - "Valley of the Hummingbirds is a required listen, plain and simple. For those who have only now discovered that music like this is the reason to wake up and pay full attention" - HEADPHONE COMMUTE
2023 IN REVIEW: ELECTROACOUSTIC, JAZZ, & POST-ROCK - "Some of the most sumptuously textured and expressive work the band has ever produced. Their first new music to be released since 2021’s score for A Broken House, this is an album that was well worth the wait and stands perfectly well on its own." - STATIONARY TRAVELS
BEST OF 2023 - "A martial and distressed progression worthy of the best of Constellation in its heyday" - (Rabbit) INDIE ROCK MAG
"Valley of the Hummingbirds is not as immediate as prior works. The album is patient, each of the three tracks building to a peak. The theatre component has broadened the duo’s sonic horizons, while their music retains the elements their fans have come to cherish." (Richard Allen) - A CLOSER LISTEN
"Wonderfully melancholic, but also an expressive, deeply emotional and truly beautiful album" - (Jan Willem Broek) DE SUBJECTIVISTEN
