Stonefox return with new melancholic track ‘Lightning’

“Chorus sealed the deal with me. Amazing”
– Bridget Hustwaite, Triple J

Staying true to their musical roots, ‘Lightning’ is a continuation of Stonefox’s moody and emotionally honest work and the first taste from their forthcoming EP with Sydney-based producer Jean-Paul Fung (Last Dinosaurs, Client Liaison).

The project marks a huge progression for the three-piece Melbourne band (Jenna Russo, Tim Carroll and Monica Spasaro) and explores the intricacies of poisonous relationships. ‘Lightning’ itself is illustrative of confrontation and betrayal as lead singer Jenna Russo explains: “This is the first time we have really evoked feelings of anger and betrayal through a song. It’s very hostile – born out of a feeling of toxic jealousy. It is a powerful, demanding song, insistent on knowing how the person you once loved could lay next to someone else.”

Reminiscent of The XX and Daughter, Stonefox have shaped their own definitive indie electro-pop sound consisting of reverb-drenched vocals, clean guitars and heartfelt lyrics. The trio have accumulated over 50 million streams across Spotify alone and have supported the likes of Timberwolf, Mosquito Coast and City Calm Down.

Their unique brand of ‘left-of-centre pop’ has also earned airplay on triple j (Good Nights, Home and Hosed and Unearthed) and FBi Radio, alongside praise from Pilerats, Forbes and Pedestrian.TV.

‘Lightning’ is only the start for Stonefox – with more in store this year the trio is sharing their most evocative sound yet.
