Influenced by Sly & the Family Stone, Funkadelic, War, The Isley Brothers, Shuggie Otis. Sly Stoney was named after a funk legend by his parents, a fact that has haunted him ever since. After dropping out of an Urban Planning program at UC Davis, he moved back to his native West Oakland with a mountain of student debt, a 1972 fuzz bass, and an oversized houseplant named Larry. His music is the sound of that decision: paranoid, joyful, deeply funky, and wrestling with the feeling of being the only one in his family who chose art over a career path. These are anthems for the gloriously uncertain.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your little green halo went out by the MacArthur BART stop.
The screen felt cold on my thumb right before the drop.
Felt the whole block watch me through the kitchen blinds,
erasing ten digits and untangling the lines.

[Chorus]
Deleting your number's a dial tone jubilee.
Cutting the wire just to set my own current free.
This ain't a heartbreak, it's a system reboot.
Just a dial tone jubilee, pulling up the root.

[Verse 2]
Last thing you wrote was "the signal's getting weak."
Now the only feedback's the floorboards when they creak.
Larry's getting all the sunlight on the sill, first time since June.
You took up too much bandwidth in this tiny room.

[Instrumental Break]
(A 20-second breakdown. A searing, distorted fuzz bass solo cuts through a heavy-swinging trap beat. Stabs of a tight 70s funk horn section punctuate the groove before everything cuts out, leaving only the bass hanging on a feedback note that fades into silence.)

[Chorus]
Deleting your number's a dial tone jubilee.
Cutting the wire just to set my own current free.
This ain't a heartbreak, it's a system reboot.
Just a dial tone jubilee, pulling up the root.

[Outro]
New area code in my head now.
Just me and the hum.
