“This is an anti-war song.
»Theme From Mushroom« is The Stone Souls’ fifth single prior to the release of their »Mushroom« album October 30, 2026.
The song reflects the subject matter of the album »Mushroom«: life during a turbulent era of conflict and threat.
Steeped in the sounds of the 1960s counterculture – think of The Rolling Stones, Buffalo Springfield, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – the message is clear: peace, now!” — TJamp Records
The Stone Souls (NL) are the ultimate blend of Americana and desert rock. A vibe rather than a genre; they bring fuzzy slide guitars with mariachi trumpets and cinematic passages. Heartfelt stories about outsiders and dreamers, captured in pop melodies from days gone by.
Formed from the creative vision of songwriter Theodor Versteegen, The Stone Souls released two EPs in 2024. »Splinter« the soundtrack of the short film produced by The Stone Souls themselves and »Riptide« soaked in surf and garage rock from the 60’s. The Stone Souls’ journey brought them to stages such as Zwarte Cross and Luxor Live and live performances on BNN/VARA Radio 1 with Erik Dijkstra and Radio 2 with Leo Blokhuis.
In 2025, The Stone Souls released five singles, which together form their EP »Bones«. About lust and the longing for personal connections in a turbulent world.
The Stone Souls recorded their debut album »Mushroom« as a four-piece band, scheduled for release on October 30, 2026.
The Stone Souls capture the zeitgeist in the cinematic »Mushroom«.
As confusion, hatred, and violence increasingly define the spirit of the times, how do we relate to ourselves, to one another, and to the world around us?
That is the subject of »Mushroom«, The Stone Souls’ most political album to date. »Mushroom« follows two protagonists trying to hold their ground in a world dominated by the egos of political leaders and Big Tech billionaires.
The introductory track »Distant Star« opens with the telling line: “We’re gonna ride into the storm.” It is immediately followed by »Bucking Bronco«, an anti-war song that rails against the aggressive tone and actions of the current US administration.
Next come tracks such as »Cobra Blood« – about the demonization of those who think differently, »Stillness« – regarding the blurring line between reality and illusion – and the title track, ‘Theme From Mushroom’, which addresses the ever-growing threat of war.
Only in the moving closing track, »Empty Hands«, do the two protagonists find their way back to each other.
The Stone Souls’ blend of Americana and desert rock is enriched with added color and a sense of menace by Marijke Gustorff’s mariachi trumpet and Sophie Ansems’ Southern Gothic violin.
»Mushroom« is a dark, cinematic album for misfits, loners, and dreamers who rather create life themselves than merely consume it.
