falling from the sky

  • the stems falling from the sky lgeThe Stems have kicked off their 40th anniversary year with a new single ahead of their national tour, a live LP and dates in Europe.

    “Falling from the Sky “is the band’s first recording since their 2007 album “Heads Up”. Recorded at Revolver Studios and mixed at Pet Rock studios in Perth, it features original members Dom Mariani, Julian Matthews, Dave Shaw and current guitarist Ashley Naylor (Even, The Church, Paul Kelly). 

    Dom: “I’d written the song about five years ago and had always envisaged the Stems doing it if we ever had the opportunity to record it. Lyrically, it’s a commentary on how attitudes change as one gets older and a little more cynical about things with the hope of love as the redeeming theme in the choruses.

    “Dave and I initially tracked the song with Dave suggesting the groove and fuzz tone idea.

    :It worked great and we sent it across to Jules to add his distinctive bass and backing vocals.
