Vevey-based psychedelic rock band PEACEBONE has finally released its new EP “Blame The Bird” in digital form via Sixteentimes Music. On this new effort, PEACEBONE pushes into darker and more psychedelic territory than before. The Swiss quintet navigates through both joy and pain, moving towards healing with its psychedelic rock infused with stoner blues.

In order to celebrate the event, PEACEBONE has released a new video for the song “Don’t Blame The Broken” – watch it here!

Following two albums ("Metanoïa" in 2021 and "Warm Paint" in 2023), which leaned more toward classic rock, PEACEBONE broadened its sound on “Blame The Bird”. They embrace a murkier, more winding tone, drawing influence from Californian desert rock, while also offering moments of ethereal, psychedelic clarity influenced by post-rock, and spicing everything up with neo-psychedelic touches. The riffs are massive, the melodies dreamlike, and Rebekah Atkinson’s lyrics are deeply emotional—capturing vulnerability, the courage to face one’s demons, and the boldness to challenge destructive beliefs.

On “Blame The Bird”, the quintet tackles intensely personal themes across five tracks. On “Break New,” for instance, the band explores the anxiety of feeling irreparably broken and the destructive toll this can take on relationships. Yet despite these insecurities, moments of sorrow can be replaced by fleeting waves of euphoria and magic, like on “Never Run Away.” Here, under a summer storm, the mind escapes into a dreamlike world where fish speak and we wander through a pink-tinted city. The EP closes with a song of reconciliation and healing love ("Hold Me Now").
