Today we are thrilled to announce that Australia’s favourite psych rock sisters Stonefield are hitting the road on a massive national headline tour in support of their acclaimed sophomore LP As Above, So Below which was release in July 2016. The Melbourne band will take in 17 dates across metro and regional centres this Spring in their biggest Australian tour to date.
In addition to the tour we’re pleased to reveal the group’s latest single ‘Love’. In contrast to most of the record, where the writing process began with the vocal as the guiding light, ‘Love’ was written with quite a different approach, taking shape from a stripped back jam between lead guitarist Hannah, Sarah (keys) and Holly (bass). The sisters were rocking out in their lounge room in country Victoria, and brought to life an intricate and intoxicating musical bed, to which vocalist Amy then added a jangly, day dream inducing top line. The instrumental focus is evident in the finished track, and shows yet more diversity from an already dynamic young band.
The follow-up to 2013’s self-titled debut, As Above, So Below, reaffirms the position of the four-piece in the upper echelons of Australian psych-rock royalty. The record is a musical coming-of-age of sorts, the sprawling soundscapes and lyrical depth of As Above, So Below showcases the group’s progressing musical maturity. The 10-track juggernaut delicately and boldly displays the Findlays’ signature penchants for kaleidoscopic guitar riffs, swirling melodies and hallucinogenic vocals.
Stonefield are renowned for their mind blowing, energetic, engaging live shows, and have spent the last six months traversing the globe and performing on some of the world’s biggest stages, wowing fans on a string of headline US shows, including a jaunt at Austin’s SXSW festival.
“It’s been way too long since we have been on the road for a big tour, so we’re really excited to get back out there to share our new music with Australia. Rackett and White Bleaches are both rad bands, so it’s going to be a really fun tour!” – Amy Findlay
If their track record for smashing their sold out live sets is anything to go by, these shows are not to be missed!
