“A combination of Kyuss’ stoner rock that The Jesus & Mary Chain encountered at 
the time of _Psychocandy_ while Spaceman 3 also came to say hello.” – **Luminous
Dash**

“The band creates a psychedelic opus from one track to the next, year after year
and this alone is no easy feat.” – **Ghettoblaster Magazine**

“… Mesmerizingly brooding and fuzzed-out ‘n’ fiery.” – **The Big Takeover**

“There’s a satisfying heaviness that’s particularly alluring” – **FLOOD Magazine**

“Tune in, zone out and enjoy the ride.” – **Loudwire**

### **Psychedelic Shoegazers⏎ TOMBSTONES IN THEIR EYESUnveil Iridescent New Single“I’m Not Like That”  

**JUNE 4, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA)  **— “This song is one of the quietest songs we
have done, but I can see more of that coming,” says vocalist/guitarist **John Treanor**
of Los Angeles-based psychedelic shoegazers **TOMBSTONES IN THEIR EYES (TITE) **
about their iridescent new single “**I’M NOT LIKE THAT” **(released today **June
4^(th) **_via _**Kitten Robot**).

Layered with shimmery, corduroy textures and punctuated with a swampy slide guitar,
the track glimmers in textural brilliance while he appeals to understanding and 
acceptance. “The lyrics came in my normal stream-of-consciousness method,” he adds.“
Whatever came out was from somewhere inside my psyche. It is kind of a plea for 
help as well as an expression of gratitude for love received.”

Tapping into a post-midnight comedown vibe, the song’s somnolent pace reflects its
origin. “‘I’m Not Like That’ was written late at night in early 2023,” he explains.“
I recorded the demo in my home studio. I was trying to be quiet so that I wouldn’t
wake my wife, so I didn’t use a pick on the rhythm guitar and I sang in a whisper.
I had an idea to build on the simple structure with some pedal steel guitar, so 
I contacted a gentleman named **David Murphy**, who provided a beautiful track for
the song.

“I also worked with one of our guitar players, **Phil Cobb**, who added some additional
guitars to the track and slide guitar. It came out great when it was all mixed together.”

**Tombstones In Their Eyes – “I’m Not Like That”**

The first single from their upcoming album _**Asylum Harbour,**_** **which will 
be released later this year, “I’m Not Like That” finds primary songwriter Treanor
emerging from a murky state of mind. “_Asylum Harbour_ is a maritime phrase for 
a safe place to wait out a storm, and the album is really me coming out of a dark
place and the songs, for the most part, reflect that journey,” he explains. “Almost
all of it was written and recorded in 2023 with the exception of two songs that 
were written years ago.”

With its origins a decade strong, TITE continues to evolve and expand, stretching
its psychedelic core. “Vocal harmonies have become one of the most important parts
of the songs we record now and that should continue as we have just added another
female vocalist to the band who will also be playing keyboards,” he says. “It is
still in process, but if that works out, we will have seven people on stage!”

In the producer and mixing chair, **Paul Roessler **(_TSOL, The Screamers, Nina 
Hagan_) returns as Treanor’s muse, offering some harmony vocals and keyboards to
their already lush sound, expertly blending psychedelia and shoegaze with heavy,
fuzzed-out guitars over reverb-drenched, dreamy vocals and precise melodies.

If “I’m Not Like That” is any indication, their new album will propel the band into
even more complex and intricate melodies. “If all goes well, I think this one will
be a bit more _out there_ in terms of the sound,” he laughs. ”We will see.”
