Evansville, IN – Faerie Ring, the hard-rocking, retro-tinged stoner rock band out of Evansville, IN, has announced their third album: a self-titled effort through King Volume Records that marks the band’s sonic rebirth – one that emphasizes tighter songwriting, blistering hooks, and a new emotional depth that was assisted through the mastering process by Torche guitarist Jonathan Nuñez.

“Our last album, »Weary Traveler«, was happy-go-lucky,” says band guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter James Wallwork. “But so much has happened since that came out in 2023, both in our personal lives and in the rest of the world. Songs like »Lost Boy« reflect the furious, “I don’t even care” attitude I felt after my divorce, while »Gargoyle« is a doomed-out perspective of realizing you’ll grow old alone. »No Surrender«, meanwhile, was inspired by the latest Israel-Palestine conflict, and it’s written from the perspective of someone living in Gaza during the war. Ultimately, Faerie Ring is a cathartic album that acknowledges that death is real, but so is love. This is an album about love and triumph in a time of existential dread.”

One of the biggest influences behind the band’s revitalized sound was the addition of multi-instrumentalist songwriter and new Faerie Ring drummer Matt McGuyer. “With Matt on drums, it’s almost like a completely new band,” says guitarist Kyle Hulgus. “Matt cracked our sound wide open. He’s such a talented musician. He’s a guitarist, he’s a vocalist, and, obviously, he’s an incredible drummer. His input was so valuable, and he helped us spread our wings.”

Once again, the band returned to Postal Recording in Indianapolis to record and engineer their third album in full analog.

“Faerie Ring is back with their 3rd installment of your sonic life adjustment. The human spirit amalgamized into sound waves. Music that envelopes your soul and suspends you in the great cosmic sludge that surrounds us all.

The world is bleak and dismal, Faerie Ring holds a mirror right up to it. After many have failed… turning it to 11 and bathing yourself in the ocean of sound that emits from your stereo may be the only cure.”
