Philadelphia, PA: We are thrilled to announce the new single release from The Stone Eye, “Raindrops”. Following the release of their latest full-length album back in April entitled Fata Morgana, the original core members of the band Stephen Burdick and Jeremiah Bertin decided to hit the studio and revisit their roots whilst simultaneously incorporating the musical experience they’ve gained over the years. The end result is a perfect blend of modern Stone Eye elements mixed with the raw, heavy, and condensed sounds of the band’s earlier works. “Raindrops” hits hard and will take you on a musical journey filled with odd time signatures, catchy hooks, and unexpected detours. The Stone Eye continues to bring it all together and “Raindrops” is no exception
get ready to be rocked!
‘”Raindrops” is in many ways, a return to form for the band. Following our latest LP and the departure of a couple of members, the band found itself consisting of its original two core members, Jeremiah and I (Stephen). Instead of rushing to fill-in the gaps left behind, we decided to try and revisit the original songwriting formula whilst applying the experience we have accumulated over the years. Thus, that’s how “Raindrops” came to be. The tune definitely has some ‘modern’ Stone Eye elements to it, e.g. odd time signatures and unexpected detours, but it also definitely hits in a way that is reminiscent of our earlier work- raw, heavy, and condensed. It’s an old meets new for us, and it’s pretty damn cool”‘ – Stephen
In the vibrant music scene of Philadelphia, a city known for its diverse musical offerings, an enigmatic force continues to stir. The Stone Eye, a musical collaboration between drummer Jeremiah Bertin and singer-songwriter Stephen Burdick, has returned a mere five months following their last full-length release, unveiling a new electrifying track titled Raindrops. This new song marks a return to the rawer, more primal roots of the band’s sound, with its three-and-a-half-minute duration boasting explosive instrumentation, soaring vocals, and intricate melodic progressions that could only be crafted through years of refinement and experience.
As The Stone Eye looks ahead to the future, their story is far from complete. Their dedication to pushing musical boundaries and connecting with their audience remains unwavering. With every album, every show, and every note they play, they carry forward the torch of alternative rock, ensuring that their unique blend of alternative, stoner, and progressive rock continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The Stone Eye stands as a testament to the enduring power of artistic vision and perseverance.
