Eternal Tone Finds the Light in the In-Between: “Sunny Days” Is the Midwest Resilience Anthem We Didn’t Know We Needed

In life, there are times before a new beginning when you can’t believe and follow through with those ideas. You feel disoriented, you feel anxious to find your way, and no one knows what to think about the future. There are times before you feel confident enough to put yourself out there again. Eternal Tone has been through this before, so he understands both the struggle and the triumph of coming out of it alive. When Eternal Tone decided to make Sunny Days from these experiences, he chose the timeless sound of hope, and the same sound of realization of potential that can be used by anyone who has experienced hard times to stand back up again.

Eternal Tone has been with us all throughout his lifetime, growing up in small-town Kansas, working hard for everything he has achieved, and building relationships with other local musicians. While most musicians choose to project an image of perfectionism to their audience, Eternal Tone chooses instead to embody the spirit of creativity combined with hard work. His lyrics speak of how to create a sense of hope out of hardship. He has created a new path for future artists to follow in Kansas. Where he learned to persevere through adversity, he wants his song, "Sunny Days" to be a testament to his ability to overcome obstacles.

The mythology surrounding the production is its Own Mythology, which serves as a hub for the audio production of Tone and as both Audio Paradolia of Nest records and as Tone's Engineer/ Bass Player/Midwest Lifers ; it serves as an anchor point for Tone's sound and provides a sonic clarity due to Audio Paradolia's years of dedication and work (both as an engineer and live sound engineer) in both a smaller setting (the studio) and in a larger setting (larger venues etc). The Instrumental track titled "Kali Katana" is both an example of how modern Hip Hop is produced (it's produced with high production qualities) and also reflects the quality/kind of 'mood' that leads many lyricists to write from a place of vulnerability, as does Tone. The music brings about memories of Tone's influences; i.e., Marlon Craft, Brother Ali, and others who have had a significant impact on how Tone views vulnerability and more importantly, how they view it in the form of strength rather than wounding.

Created in various Quiet Corners of Kansas, the Album titled "Sunny Days" provides listeners with a snapshot of places/landscapes we often overlook and validates the idea that we can produce something from a place of 'stillness' just as readily as we can from a place of 'noise'.

With his hometown New Year's show approaching, and the January 11th release of "Where the Wind Blows", Tone encapsulates his purpose by saying, "when you are looking for Silver Linings, they have a tendency to show up and when you do you will find life arriving as well."

This is music for the individuals who are searching for their Own Light, or simply trying to reacquaint themselves with it.
