“These four sisters ooze talent and grit, an undeniable powerhouse destined for great things.”
– Indie Shuffle
“Seamlessly combines psych, prog, indie rock, and heavy metal…if you’re into the tripped-out, lava lamp-conducive stuff from that era, you’re probably gonna like this too.”
– Brooklyn Vegan

Coming off of the announcement their new album, BENT (out June 14 via Flightless Records) and a North American Tour with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Australian, psych-rock band Stonefield, have announced three new dates in Australia with support from Bitch Diesel, and a new video for first single, “Sleep.” Recorded by Joe Walker and Stu Mackenzie of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, the album was recorded in-between tours, in just five days. Written largely on the road, the songs on BENT are filled with reference and reflection–the kind that comes from months spent far from home, living on four wheels. The surreal isolation of trudging through white-out snow and snaking down deserted highways served as the perfect backdrop for the band to look inward. “It’s a culmination of experiences, emotions, and stories collected over time,” explains lead singer and drummer Amy Findlay, “A growth of honest, raw, energy that has been burning within us and waiting for its moment.”
The first single, “Sleep” opens the album with guitars covered in five inches of sludge and distortion and something that sounds like a far-off siren, or the high-pitched howling of the wind. It serves as a warning, a call to arms, kicking things off with a next-level version of the massive, unholy racket the band has become known for over the course of their last three albums. “ ‘Sleep’ was inspired by the concept of floating in the in-between,” explains Findlay, “An ode to the darkness of not wanting to cross to the other side.”
The release of “Sleep” is joined by the announcement that Stonefield will be playing three shows in Australia August 1st, in Melbourne, VIC at Howler, August 2nd in Sydney, NSW at Lansdowne Hotel, and August 3rd in Brisbane, QLD at The Brightside, before joining King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and ORB for a North American Tour in August and September 2019. The tour includes a stop in Los Angeles, California at the Greek Theatre, and two nights at Stubb’s in Austin, Texas. The dates will follow Stonefield’s own, 37-date tour of Europe and the UK, which includes several festival stops at Desertfest, The Great Escape, Maifeld Derby, Freak Valley Festival, and Indie Rocket Festival.
