Philadelphia rock band The Stone Eye release new single "Not My Circus"
Philadelphia rock band The Stone Eye unveiled their new single "Not My Circus.”
The song comes with a music video directed by vocalist Stephen Burdick, which was released yesterday. Burdick said this about the new track:
'"Not My Circus" was conceived following a couple of unique events- firstly, seeing Ween live and experiencing them absolutely shred my face off at the Met Theater in December of 2021, and my buddy Mike Matteson telling me that "You should write more songs in four with an easily identifiable rhythm".
Experiencing Ween live, had inspired me to try and write a song that was a bit out there for us style-wise, yet have it still maintain that Stone Eye sound and feel. Mike's words definitely played a role in the songwriting process as well, as I tried not to veer too far off the deep end when it came to rhythmic experimentation within the riffs and keep it relatively grounded and (mostly) in four. Lyrically, it's a jab at the whole indie/hipster world following some heat I received for my Doordash on tour comments in the twitter-verse. It's about as autobiographical as I have ever been!"
“Not My Circus” stems from The Stone Eye’s forthcoming studio album Fata Morgana, which will be released on April 28 via Electric Talon Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here. “Not My Circus” is out on digital services right now.
