CALIFORNIAN PSYCHEDELIC BAND
TOMBSTONES IN THEIR EYES RELEASES VIDEO.
Californians Tombstones In Their Eyes premiered their new video "You Never Have to Love Me", directed by Francesca Bonci, published on February 3rd on their YouTube channel.The shoegaze and psychedelic band from Los Angeles Tombstones In Their Eyes present the single 'You Never Have to Love Me', occupying the uneasy space between collapse and clarity, tracing a moment where survival demands self-reckoning and the realization that repair begins from within. It ishowcased by a superb layered and color-rich video by Francesca Bonci, who earlier created videos for the singles 'Under Dark Skies' and Alive and Well', dedicated to guitarist Paul Boutin, who recently lost his battle with cancer.
'You Never Have to Love Me' is lifted from the band's latest (and now acclaimed) album 'Under Dark Skies', released via Little Cloud Records (North America) and Shore Dive Records (UK and EU).
Tombstones In Their Eyes consists of: John Treanor (vocals and guitar), Stephen Striegel (drums), Courtney Davies (vocals), Phil Cobb (guitar) and Paul Boutin (guitar), along with new band members Joel Wasko (bass) and Clea Cullen (vocals).
"'You Never Have to Love Me' was written in September 2023 during a fertile period of writing. I was not doing well emotionally, and there was no intended meaning to the song as I wrote it. But as I look back on it now, this song seems to be about acknowledging my failures and attempting to find grace. The idea that “you never have to love me” is really about how I first need to love myself before I can attempt to make things right," says John Treanor.
"There are a lot of musicians on this track, with 3 guitar players, 6 people contributing vocals, 2 bass players and 1 drummer and 1 keyboard player. We split the bass parts as Joel was not longer going to be in the band and Nic was coming back in. I had them both do parts and we used some of each. Phil did an amazing outro guitar part that to me is a highlight of the song."
John Treanor explains, "We originally released this song on our 2016 'Bad Clouds' EP, which we didn't promote at all. I just let words come out of my mind impromptu while singing over the track, allowing things to seep out of the subconscious, sometimes real and sometimes nonsensical. This was the first record fully done at Kitten Robot Studio with Paul Roessler and the first time we worked with drummer Stephen Striegel, who is still in the band today. It was the start of 10 years of working with both of them."
