On their latest release, "Shiftin'," StoneTribe draws us back to one of life's simple pleasures, a retreat to mellower times, sunny beaches, and the joy of rolling with the flow. This time, they're joined by Clint Warren, whose lush production seals the song like a glowing sunset at the end of a perfect day.
StoneTribe, the genre-bending duo consisting of DandeLION from San Antonio and Natoven from Wilmington, NC, has gradually been building its position in the sun through a sunlit combination of reggae, psychedelic rock, soul, and coastal confidence. On "Shiftin'," they pump that formula full of lighthearted energy and create something that feels as breezy and free as a coastal road trip with the windows down.
"Shiftin'" is groovy pop-rock mixed with surf-rock and a definite nod to StoneTribe's signature groove. The effect is a luminous, liquid rhythm that sails you along on a breeze of ease, stress-free, without hurry, a current rushing with movement, with joy. Warren's participation improves the overall production but raises the whole track's stakes. His touch is soulful and warm, giving the experience a depth that never becomes weighty. It's upbeat, full of energy, and fun, but it's always underpinned by the spiritual and communal vibe at the core of the band's ethos.
"Shiftin'" expresses a mood, a moment, a mindset. It reminds us that sometimes the most remarkable thing we can do is let go, lean into the groove, and move with the tide. For fans of reggae-tinged rock, feel-good rhythms, or anyone needing some sunshine via transmission, "Shiftin'" is a trip worth packing for. StoneTribe and Clint Warren are in the soul's medicine business.
