“I Like to Feel Good” has probably my favorite verse of any song that I’ve written. It’s the second long verse and it was written in a stream of consciousness fashion. I don’t believe that I changed any of the words that came out in that first pass. And it really hit home. It summed up my existence, thinking that my sensitivity was a burden and a malady, only to find that it is a gift that I can use to make life better,” says frontman John Treanor.
“Beyond that verse, it also has a really cool wah part leading from the main verse to the last chorus. The part only lasts thirty seconds or less but it came out so good. And I love the overall vibe and sound of the song, it sounds super fuzzy and driving (in the verses especially).”
Espousing a heavier sound than the two earlier-released singles from this album – “Sweet as Pie” and “I’m Not Like That” – “I Like To Feel Good” foreshadows the band’s Asylum Harbour album, which sees the TITE mainman pull past the pain, numbness and chaos reflected on their previous album “Sea of Sorrow.”
Recorded at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles and co-produced by John Treanor, this album was produced and engineered by Paul Roessler (45 Grave, Twisted Roots, The Screamers, Nina Hagen), also known for his work with Josie Cotton, Hayley and the Crushers and Gitane Demone.
Tombstones In Their Eyes began a decade ago as a demo-swapping exercise between two childhood friends separated by geography (John Treanor in LA and James Cooper in NYC), but soon blossomed into a full-fledged band and a healthy stream of expansive music that is laced with fuzzed out psychedelic majesty. For John, writing and performing has always been a way to deal with anxiety and depression, to speak about a subject without being the centre of the conversation, and to express oneself in a subliminal way rather than directly. This music looks out into the universe as much as it looks inward toward the soul.
Named after a maritime phrase for a safe place to wait out a storm, Asylum Harbour is an album of resurfacing, reflecting a new phase of healing after re-emerging from the pandemic. Treanor shares, “The album has been ready for some time, so it’s a relief to get it out…. Now we get to go out and play the songs from the new record live.”
