Hurt Valley

Cyrus Gengras, a native of the northeast, now resides in Los Angeles, California. While perhaps best known for his work with other artists, touring heavily with acts such as Kevin Morby, Hamilton Leithauser, Jessica Pratt, Amen Dunes, and many others, Gengras has spent the last decade crafting his own unique sound. Gengras' style is born out of the ashes of mid-2000s freak-folk era collaborations with a slew of artists including brother, and modular synth wizard, M. Geddes Gengras. Stepping out on his own, Gengras emerged with a desire to engage in song writing in a more classical sense, while maintaining some of the 'freak'.

LA-based musician Brian Collins records music as Hurt Valley, and released his debut album Glacial Pace on Woodsist Records in 2019. Since adding bassist Jenn Quinly and drummer Jess McIntosh to the lineup, the severely quarantined Hurt Valley has continued to develop its repertoire of "loosely psychedelic, often rollicking songs that feel like they came from a simpler time, before you realize that the simpler time you're thinking about never really existed in the first place, and you're just romanticizing a past that was as complicated as the present" (Sam Hockley-Smith).
