Pinwheel Valley has released their new single titled ‘Someway’ via Hot Soap Records. Brilliant guitar work amid poetic and signature vocals, ‘Someway’ somehow hits all the feels with a minimalist approach and original style.
Pinwheel Valley is the brainchild of Qais Khoury. An introvert with introspection, Qais is one of those rare artists who channels his life experiences with bravado and flair, all within the feeling of the moment and the scope of an eternity.
“I wrote ‘Someway’ as a tender plea, woven with threads of hope and longing. It reflects the ache of separation (whether physical, emotional, or spiritual) and the profound yearning for reconnection. In an age defined by instant, hypermodern communication, I found myself gazing out to sea, inspired by a bygone era when messages in bottles carried words of love across vast, uncertain distances. The song captures that sense of remoteness and the fragility of faith in a bond that may still endure. In this light, the refrain “know I’ll find it someway” becomes an unyielding anchor of hope.”

About Pinwheel Valley & ‘Someway’
Led by Jordanian-Canadian singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Qais Khoury, Pinwheel Valley is a project born of deep introspection and wide-eyed exploration. Qais’ brainchild blossoms into a full band for live performances, consisting of Qais on vocals, guitar, and keys, Stephanos Marangos (lead and supporting guitar), Max Daniels (bass and Ableton), and either Stephanos Meletiou or Phrangiskos Petrisis on drums.
Originally known as KAIS, the project has evolved into a genre-blurring soundscape that fuses Indie Soul, mellow Alt-Rock, and Folktronica, drawing from a wide array of inspiration including Jeff Buckley, Bon Iver, James Blake, and Radiohead. At once cinematic and intimate, Pinwheel Valley’s music dwells in the spaces between our deepest instincts and the relentless pressures of an ego-driven, late-stage capitalist world.
From writing songs at thirteen to studying production in London at Point Blank Music School, Qais’ musical path has always been a soulful defiance of expectations, nurtured by a childhood surrounded by his father’s renditions of Sinatra and Elton John, and shaped by a cross-cultural upbringing that spans Amman, London, Vancouver, and now Cyprus, where he runs Hot Soap Studios Ltd. ‘Someway’, sure to ensnare fans of Father John Misty, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Murphy, was produced and written by frontman Qais Khoury.
‘Someway’ sees Pinwheel Valley veer into soft Indie Folk territory, with intimate acoustic guitar, airy atmospherics, and minimal percussion carrying Qais’ impassioned vocals, controlled yet aching with emotion. The timeless sound of the song makes it a perfect vessel for Qais’ call for connection in his lyrics; a primal human need in the fractured isolation of modernity.
