Kris Orlowski: “Stone By Stone”
“Let me hold you swing you round, pack our bags and leave this town”, begins band Kris Orlowski in their new single “Stone by Stone” from their forthcoming debut full-length album, Believer, set to be released April 25, 2014.
Kris Orlowski is a Seattle-based band dedicated to making music that is “about creating something that touches the soul”, according to their bio. And “Stone by Stone” certainly does that.
The Americana tune is very affectionate and uplifting, telling a story of love in which “fooled by the world, I’m tingling; you’re leaving me whole again.” The Mumford and Suns-esque tune leaves the heart and soul feeling rather touched.
The band has shed the big-band folksy feel of their previous work for a more “punch-y and experimental” album, and the single certainly reflects a more simple instrumentation, relying on the vocals and lyrics to do the storytelling, which they do rather well.
The song ends with a beautiful promise as they sing, “I won’t stop trying now, I can’t start lying now, because I’m sacred in my vows to see this through.” “Stone by Stone” certainly makes me excited for the release of Believer.

The Neighbourhood’s new single
Maybe I’m a little biased, because I love anything from The Neighbourhood, but I can’t get enough of their new single, “Honest.”
