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]
(He says) The kitchen windowpane on Prescott Street rattles again.
(She says) "It's just the big rigs on the upper deck, love. 5:17 PM."
Her hand is cool on my neck, a temporary fix.
The whole damn house is humming with the weight of all them bricks.

[Chorus]
And the concrete sighs a low note we don't know yet.
Tomorrow's just a dial tone on the kitchenette.

[Verse 2]
(He says) "Larry's losing a leaf, swear the signal here is wrong."
(She says) "You and that plant. C'mon, put another record on."
There's a different kind of static in the air tonight, I feel it shift.
"Just the fog rolling in," she says, and offers it a kiss.

[Chorus]
And the concrete sighs a low note we don't know yet.
Tomorrow's just a dial tone on the kitchenette.

[Bridge]
(tick-tock percussion, whispered)
"did you feel that"
(just the train)
"no somethin' else"
(the whole damn building)

[Outro]
The line went dead at five-oh-four.
Just a humming sound and nothing more.
