Jay Weinberg (Suicidal Tendencies, ex-Slipknot, etc.) has shared a visualizer for his new song “Sandstone.” The track, which features Deafheaven’s George Clarke, will appear on Weinberg’s upcoming collaborative EP.
Weinberg told Wall Of Sound the following:
“Oh boy. I’m really excited about it. I’ve been working on this song specifically between six and eight years. Guitar is actually the instrument that I started with. I started playing drums when I was 14, but I started playing guitar when I was nine, and that’s always been my primary writing instrument. Whenever I sit down to write stuff, it’s typically with a guitar first.
And so I’ve thrown together different versions of what I would want to do with these songs, material I’ve written for a long, long time, and it just kind of started to make sense where I felt comfortable recording all the instruments myself, and then kind of pitching a song here or a song there to friends of mine.”
He continued:
“I’ve always wanted to collaborate with mainly vocalists and just create a very low pressure, like, ‘Hey, here’s a song, why don’t we’, instead of… ‘oh, we got to start a side project.’ In the instance of ‘Sandstone‘, I really felt like the music I was creating really lent itself to what my friend George Clarke would be able to do with his voice and his lyrics, and I just kind pitched it to him like, ‘Hey, let’s do this one song’.
And he heard that loud and clear, came in and completely schooled it. It was incredible to watch it come to a fully realized form of a song.”
He also added:
“It’s the first song I’ve ever released under my own name, and it’s the first song in a series of collaborations, an EP that I have that’s in various stations of completion, but that I’m hoping to have out in the early part of 2026.”
