Fulfilling the 'rock' component of their progressive sound in true DATURA LODGE style, the new single release, "Stone", unveils the heavier side of the duo's music. Featuring Ben Karas (THANK YOU SCIENTIST) on violin, the track delivers DATURA LODGE's distinctive melodic edge with humorous contrasting lyrics.

In this high-octane rock offering, fast-paced distorted rhythms and driving percussion are interspersed with melodic-led sections and powerful vocal harmonies. Technical guitar solos and Ben Karas's electrifying violin solo introduce further intrigue into the musical arrangement of "Stone".

DATURA LODGE also bring a playful aspect to this new track. The minor tonality of the music intentionally 'clashes' against the nonsensical quality of the lyrics. "I was listening to Lou Reed’s 'middle-aged man era' albums a lot and love how his lyrics are rooted in reality but also very funny". Explains "W". "'Stone' is my third-rate impression of that."

The band's debut self-titled album, Datura Lodge, is scheduled for release later this year via ARQUEN Records.

Datura Lodge was produced by DATURA LODGE and Ben Karas. Tracks 1-5 were recorded at Frightbox Recording in Passaic, NJ, while tracks 6-9 were recorded at Frost Gauntlet Recording in Lyndhurst, NJ, all with engineer Ben Karas who mixed the album. The release was mastered by Andy VanDette at Evolve Mastering. The cover artwork for Datura Lodge was created by Samantha Feyerabend-Muljat.

Across the album, DATURA LODGE is joined by Adam Holzman on keyboards and Russell Holzman performing drums, with Ben Karas lending violin to "Stone".
