#The Goon Sax Announce New Album Mirror II, Share “In the Stone” Video: Watch

Brisbane-formed band the Goon Sax have announced Mirror II, their third studio album and first for new label Matador. It was recorded with longtime PJ Harvey producer John Parish at Geoff Barrow’s Invada Studios in Bristol and is due out July 9. Below, check out the music video for the lead single, “In the Stone.”

In a press release, band member Louis Forster shared a statement about the origins of “In the Stone”:

“In the Stone” is set in Berlin where I moved with my partner at the time, just after finishing school and recording our last album We’re Not Talking at the end of 2017. We were both exploring ourselves—accepting each other’s changes and celebrating flux—but also reckoning with the complicated need for a solid sense of self and the person we loved. Musically the song was influenced by what was playing in the background of our conversations which often took place in Ubers, supermarkets, outside parties etc. So it probably bears more of a subconsciously absorbed modern pop influence than anything else we’ve done as a band.
