Philly sludge rockers The Stone Eye have unveiled their new single "Catatonia" today.

The song arrives with a music video directed by vocalist/guitarist Stephen Burdick, who said this about it:

"Catatonia was our attempt at writing a simple, circular tune with a strong hook that would stick in listener's minds, like the way Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana does. The idea behind the video wasn’t anything too elaborate, just us trying to be as absurd and ridiculous as possible whilst also making some sense. Why not have a rogue, alcoholic police officer with a handlebar mustache try to dish out a parking meter ticket, then proceed to have the pursuit of his life which ends with him standing face to face with a risqué representation of the devil who proceeds to smack his bum? We’ve never seen that done before, and what's more ridiculous than that?"

"Catatonia" is the band’s second single from their forthcoming studio album South Of The Sun, which comes out on October 15 via Eclipse Records. Pre-orders for the release can be made here.
