Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based Heavy Rockers The Stone Eye unveil the official lyric video for “Donora” taken from upcoming new album “Fata Morgana” due out on April 26, 2023 via Electric Talon Records. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
There is a party going on, a celebration, the 4th of July, a homecoming. Or just raise your beer can and give a nod from your porch-rocker. Either works, everyone’s welcome. The new record (the young band’s seventh!), titled “Fata Morgana,” is one of those gems that is familiar somehow, yet takes the listener on a journey mapped out in new pathways. Heavy with a layer of glorious weirdness, this album combines raucous, dirty guitar sounds with clever musicianship, hypnic vocals, and a stylistically diverse range of songs. Tracks such as the ominously titled T.G.R pummel you with funky yet tasteful weirdness, whilst Not my Circus guides you through a meticulously crafted landscape that can best be described as articulate minimalism. Listeners will find nods to punk with the track Sacrilegious High, and by the end, be taken through a Progressive Rock landscape only seldom explored by bands such as King Crimson with the 9 minute epic, “In Lieu of Roses.” “Fata Morgana” is a record that is both representative of the band’s growth, as well as their continued blending of pop-sensibilities and musical weirdness.
