PStone is in the studio laying down tracks for their follow up to \"The goods & The ill\'s\" ...

Philosopher\'s Stone is a three-piece indie-rock band based in northern kentucky. The group is currently performing live shows throughout the mid-west region, growing a robust reputation, producing a very supportive following, and making friends everywhere. The band released their debut album \"the goods & the ills\" on march 12th, 2002. These gents are creating a charming sound ... this is now music ... spreading through grassroots - friend to friend ... the PStone sound can be heard coming from cars, boom boxes, and computers from as far away as Scotland, Greece, Australia and Japan ... this is the indistinguishable sound of something new and exciting - an intelligent evolution of music ...

BEST PRODUCED ALBUMS OF 2002 (review by city beat 2003.01)
.\"This trio\'s sound is so novel that it\'s refreshingly difficult to draw direct comparisons. The group\'s songs have a fluid, watery vibe that feels very organic, and they don\'t write in an expected Pop format, eschewing the cookie-cutter verse/chorus style for an atmospheric approach that simply pours forth and develops naturally.\"

MOST MEMORABLE CUTS FROM 2002 (review by city beat 2003.01)
* \"Soliloquy\" by Philosopher\'s Stone (from the CD, The Good & The Ills). This band has such an endearing stream-of-conscious vibe that it\'s hard not to get sucked in. But \"Soliloquy\" is the album\'s centerpiece, a waterfall of sparkling rhythms and chiming guitars mixed with singer/songwriter Brad Denham\'s spontaneous vocal bark. The hand-cuffs click in lock position during the chorus, a subtle melody that distantly recalls New Order\'s \"Love Vigilante.\" Bonus points for the \"Walk On the Wild Side\"-like section, where, instead of girls singing \"doo-da-doo,\" Denham tells us that some painted man from a cave speaks in the language of \"Boom-buttley-bom-bom-bom.\" Confusingly good.\"

REVIEWS

awesome indeed
author: Eric
A fantastic CD, really as the header says like stuffing the Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse in a blender, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Filled with great acoustic and electric guitar, slightly barky vocals ala Modest Mouse, great drum work, and some ridiculously catchy melodies (exemplified by "Soliloquy" and "Infinity"). It's perhaps not the most varied CD out there, but it's a good laid-back sound that you'll doubtless be happy with.

Awesome
author: Matt
The CD was incredible. For being a local band, I'm surprised that they're not more well known, except for in the undergeround scene. The music itself is written with such precision and a groove that can compete with most music out there. Awesome CD, keep up the good work. P.S. The Delivery from CD Baby was very quick, especially for using USPS to ship it. Awesome work on CD Baby's behalf as well.
