After kicking off 2025 with a successful Los Angeles show, indie rock outfit Tombstones In Their Eyes\u00a0<\/a>offer up their latest fuzzed-out dish of bliss rock in \u2018Mirror\u2019, along with a fine positively-charged kaleidoscopic visual reel created by Italian multi-arts visionary\u00a0Francesca Bonci<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018Mirror\u2019 highlights the latest \u2018Asylum Harbour\u2019 album<\/a>\u00a0from the LA-based psych-rock shoegaze collective, made up onf long-time members John Treanor (vocals & guitar), Stephen Striegel\u00a0(drums), Courtney Davies\u00a0(vocals) , Phil Cobb (guitar) and Paul Boutin (guitar), along with new band members Joel Wasko\u00a0(bass) and Clea Cullen (vocals).<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d rather let listeners go where they want with the lyrics as I did write it without conscious thought by singing whatever came to mind (with some tweaks afterward). But in reading the lyrics after the fact, I can see that this song is more direct than most. From my standpoint, the song is about trusting your instincts and your awareness when dealing with love or friendship,\u201d says John Treanor.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s on it\u2019s way to be a happy song until you hit the chorus, with the lyric \u201cI can see it in the gloom\u201d. I consider this one of the sleeper songs on the album for me because I didn\u2019t consider how much I loved it until after the record was complete. I love the harmonies on the choruses. The lead or melody line in the bridge by Paul Boutin is fantastic and even the verse vocal melody is cool (IMHO, of course).\u201d<\/p>\n Named after a maritime phrase for a safe place to wait out a storm and released via Kitten Robot Records<\/a>, \u2018Asylum Harbour\u2019 is about resurfacing in a new phase of healing following the pandemic. Produced and engineered by **Paul Roessler\u00a0**<\/a>(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\u2019s frontman John Treanor\u00a0and recorded at Kitten Robot Studios<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a professional new media artist,\u00a0Francesci Bonci has created videos for numerous artists, including The Brian Jonestown Massacre\u2019s Collin Hegna for his Federale<\/a> project,\u00a0**The Dandy Warhols\u2019\u00a0**Peter G.\u00a0Holmstr\u00f6m<\/a> a.k.a. Pete International Airport<\/a>\u00a0and **Slowdive\u2019s\u00a0**Rachel Goswell<\/a>. Bonci is a visual champion, highlighting the triumph of color and light in her works and mixing captured photographic images and video with chromatic and luminous tapestries, often using vintage analog elements.<\/p>\n Bonci shares, \u201cThis was a very instinctive and emotional video. But this time, it\u2019s more abstract. I perceived and felt many deep things inside the song \u2013 like being in that room and seeing John\u2019s soul entering and exiting that mirror. Though seemingly simple, there are a lot of layers one on top of the other, in which I sculpted the emotions that the song suggested to me. I used an analog processor that recreates the atmospheres of old VHS, with which i manipulated the images in a cathode ray tube tv\u201d.<\/p>\n \u2018Asylum Harbour\u2019 follows the band\u2019s \u2018Sea of Sorrow\u2019<\/a> album, this new record seeing Treanor pull past the pain, numbness and chaos imbued in that previous offering. \u00a0Earlier, the band released\u00a0\u2018Sweet as Pie\u2019<\/a>,\u00a0\u2018I\u2019m Not Like That\u2019<\/a>, \u2018In Your Eyes\u2019<\/a> and the supercharged\u00a0\u2018I Like to Feel Good\u2019<\/a>, its video oscillating between electrified stage performances and a chilled drive through LA, reflecting its lyrics about how one\u2019s inner strength and individuality can be a catalyst for positive change.<\/p>\n What began a decade ago as two childhood friends (Treanor in LA and James Cooper in NYC) swapping demos quickly grew into a full-fledged band with a healthy stream of expansive music, laced with fuzzed out psychedelic majesty.\u00a0Writing and performing is Treanor\u2019s 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. TITE\u2019s music gazes\u00a0into the universe as much as inward toward the soul.<\/p>\n \u2018Asylum Harbour\u2019 is out now, available on CD and on snazzy red vinyl, as well as digitally everywhere, including\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n -Official bio<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
