Los Angeles-based Tombstones In Their Eyes conjure a beautifully bruised soundscape with “Gimme Some Pain,” a hypnotic, mantra-like confession wrapped in fuzz.
The song is from their recently released album Asylum Harbour (via Kitten Robot Records), and it gets a new, dazzling visual treatment from Italian artist Francesca Bonci, whose dreamlike touch previously graced the music video for “Mirror.”
Frontman John Treanor wrote “Gimme Some Pain” at the height of personal collapse—guilt, shame, and daily battles with suicidal thoughts forming its marrow.
The song, built on simple acoustic chords, spills over into an incantation of survival, the chorus arriving like a lighthouse beam through the fog. Treanor sings with an urgency that makes you feel every desperate breath.
Produced by Paul Roessler (45 Grave, The Screamers), Asylum Harbour emerges from the storm of its predecessor, Sea of Sorrow, where pain and chaos reigned. Here, there’s a glimmer of healing, even as the walls still drip with existential dread.
The band’s signature psych-shoegaze fusion—syrupy distortion, spectral harmonies, and cavernous reverb—reaches new heights, threading together Treanor’s stream-of-consciousness songwriting with a heavy-lidded, cosmic gaze.
The band, now seven-strong with new members Joel Wasko (bass) and Clea Cullen (vocals), launches into a residency at Gold-Diggers in LA on March 12. This joint venture between Kitten Robot and Final Girl Records showcases underground firebrands.
Asylum Harbour is out now on digital, CD, and vinyl, a must for fans of blissed-out darkness and radiant decay. Tombstones In Their Eyes stare deep into the void—and make it sing.
