‘Solus Rex’ - LP
The new album out on Glass Modern Records, June 12.
Translating roughly to “the lone king”, named from an unfinished Nabokov novel.
Excerpt from the sleeve notes written by Sonic Boom:
“Stone Anthem. Someone rare in these times. Something interesting & someone interested. Looking for the lost chord. Looking for engagement and real experience in a time where technology is trying to overtake humanity.
I think Stone anthem sent me his first jams in 2020. He was 13. I was impressed. And I’m pleased to see this all coming to fruition on this record with Glass Modern.
I saw David Barker (who was Spacemen 3s first label with his pivotal Glass records ) say recently when asked why it was that he put out Spacemen 3s first records. He replied something along the lines about it was his sense that we clearly believed in what we were doing. We’re passionate about it. And had faith in ourselves and our music.
I imagine that’s EXACTLY why he is putting out this record also. A commitment to the committed.
Please take it home, let it into your lives & enjoy!”
Sonic Boom, Sintra, 2026.

Introducing ‘Foglights’. A new project created by Eva Cord and Stone Anthem (Archie Ingram). Blending the dense psychedelia of Stone Anthem with the heartfelt indie pop of The Cords, the duo create immersive, folk-tinged soundscapes built on washed-out guitars, hypnotic melodies, and raw, honest lyricism.
Rooted in contrast and connection. An honest, intimate reflection of their musical relationship. Foglights reflects two distinct artists sharing the same vision: music made with vulnerability, intensity, and sincerity. Their sound drifts between clarity and distortion, dark yet hopeful, controlled yet unpredictable, pulling listeners into something intimate, immersive, and difficult to define.
Lots of exciting news to come…
A rather jolly time…
Family trip on the road with The Charlatans and my favourite band @the.cords_band , followed by a wee break away in Glasgow and Glen Coe.
Thanks so much to everyone for having me along!
