Valley of Fire is El Ten Eleven most thematically committed record, merging personal anecdotes with the larger ecosystem of the sound. While the album was inspired by organic beauty, its seven songs are still rife with El Ten Eleven’s trademark technical flair.

Valley of Fire is a bit of a departure for instrumental rock duo El Ten Eleven. While usually upbeat, their music has always had its bittersweet or melancholy tendencies, reflecting on the losses of loved ones while also celebrating their lives. They’ve also found inventive ways to construct danceable grooves without any sort of programming or sequencing, but with the aid of real-time looping effects, earning a sizeable following as a live act… AllMusic
