Valley Of Abandoned Songs is a studio album by American Americana roots band The Felice Brothers, released in June 2024 via Million Stars in the US and Love Police Records & Tapes in Australia.

Valley Of Abandoned Songs is a new thirteen song collection consisting of recordings primarily from sessions for The Felice Brothers' 2019 album, Undress and 2023's Asylum On The Hill. Both of those albums were captured live in an 1870s church with the band's current line-up of Ian Felice (guitar/vocals), James Felice (piano/vocals), Jeske Hume (bass) and Will Lawrence (drums).

Ian Felice describes the new album: "A few years ago, I started revisiting old demos that had never seen the light of day and recordings that hadn't found a home on previous albums, and I started thinking of them as the Valley Of Abandoned Songs. At a certain point, I realised that I had a particular group of tunes that worked really well as an album, and so I shared it with Conor Oberst, along with my idea to post it online, but he immediately texted back that he loved it so much he wanted to start a new record label just to put it out!"

About signing the band to his new label, Conor Oberst adds: "I first encountered the Felice Brothers in 2007 after being given some of their music by a friend. I liked it a lot, but there was something I couldn't put my finger on-singular and mysterious. An iconoclastic version of what some lazy people call "Americana". I subsequently met them and played shows together. They became some of my best friends, family, really. I put out two of their records on the label I co-owned at the time, called Team Love. Then we started to perform together with them as my backing band and made a record of mine called Salutations. Needless to say, I love this band, and when I asked that horrible question, 'Who is your favourite band?' I always answer 'The Felice Brothers.' So when Ian sent me this new collection of songs and told me they just planned to put it up on the internet, I kind of flipped out, because they were so goddamn good. And then I did something I swore I would never do again: I started a new record label. This is my third. It is called Million Stars, and I am so proud to say the new Felice Brothers album is our first release. I can't quit them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

This album is on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in Australia via Love Police.
