Los Angeles-based shoegaze / psychedelic rock collective Tombstones In Their Eyes release their much-anticipated Asylum Harbour album, through Kitten Robot Records on the 19th of November and we are exclusively debuting it below. Produced and engineered by Paul Roessler (45 Grave, Twisted Roots, The Screamers, Nina Hagen), known for his work with Josie Cotton, Hayley and the Crushers and Gitane Demone, this record was co-produced by the band’s frontmain John Treanor and recorded at Kitten Robot Studios.
Named after a maritime phrase for a safe place to wait out a storm, Asylum Harbour is a richly detailed album ripe with psychedelic details and heavy glistening percussion, laced with lysergic vocals. It’s also an album of resurfacing, reflecting a new phase of healing after re-emerging from the pandemic. Treanor shares, “The album has been ready for some time, so it’s a relief to get it out…. Now we get to go out and play the songs from the new record live.”
This follows earlier singles ‘Sweet as Pie’, ‘I’m Not Like That’, ‘In Your Eyes’ and the heaviest – ‘I Like to Feel Good’ with a video that oscillates between electrified stage performances and a chilled drive through LA, reflecting the transformation inherent in its lyrics about how one’s inner strength and individuality can be a catalyst for positive change.
Tombstones In Their Eyes is made up of long-time members John Treanor (vocals & guitar), Stephen Striegel (drums), Courtney Davies (vocals) , Phil Cobb (guitar) and Paul Boutin (guitar), along with new band members Joel Wasko (bass) and Clea Cullen (vocals). This new record sees Treanor pull past the pain, numbness and chaos imbued in their previous album ‘Sea of Sorrow’.
Tombstones In Their Eyes began a decade ago through demo-swapping between two childhood friends separated by geography (Treanor in LA and James Cooper in NYC). It soon grew into a full-fledged band and a healthy stream of expansive music that is laced with fuzzed out psychedelic majesty. For Treanor, writing and performing is a way to deal with anxiety and depression, to speak about a subject without being the centre of the conversation, and to express oneself in a subliminal way rather than directly. TITE’s music looks out into the universe as much as it looks inward toward the soul.
On November 19, the ‘Asylum Harbour’ album will be released on CD and on snazzy red vinyl. It will also be available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.
