Songorientierter als zuvor (Gesang und Melodien schimmern durch), diese Band aus Chicago, aber immer noch sehr droney, trancig, nebulös, verträumt, und sanft melancholisch. Was für laue Sommernachmittage, auf dem Label eine TARENTEL-Mitglieds.

"Chicago’s ZELIENOPLE create acoustic improvisations that have as much in common with Thuja as they do the late period work of Talk Talk. Stone Academy picks up where 2005's brilliant Ink left off, balancing the simple beauty of guitar-based songs with overwhelming, dark drones. Zelienople have mastered the art of making expansive, luminescent drones sound as organic as the soil beneath your feet. Vinyl limited to 300 hand-numbered copies." [label info]
"...Stone Academy, at its core, is basically a stripped down folk record. Simple strummed steel string guitar, wavery plaintive vocals, warm swells of ambience, wrapped in TONS of thick reverb, like it was recorded in a cave or a gymnasium or empty swimming pool, and while each song has this strummy folk center, each track evolves or devolves in a totally unique way, into a barely there minimal crawl, into grinding washes of distorted guitar, into warm thick swirls of My Bloody Valentine like buzz, into weird 20th century abstract clatter, into Murky Dead C like blurry noise rock, and sometimes into nothing at all, just sort of quietly and contemplatively drifting along, shimmering in a druggy haze of warbly ephemeral folk and whirring ambient rumble."
