"Extraordinary basement psych with two multi-instrumentalists creating a melancholic dreamlike state with songs fading in and out of the speakers, cavemen drums, primitive electronics and murky fuzz lurking in the background. The best tracks go into places no other albums reach. Actually closer to the heart of psychedelia than most other records listed here." —Acid Archives of Underground Sounds.
Stone Harbour were Ric Ballas and Dave McCarty, and out of nowhere and nothing, at entirely the wrong time, they cut an LP that will blow your head clean off. This is a trip into the true dark heart of psychedelia
Oh man, these two dudes found the holy grail without even realizing it. In the musically barren years of 1974-75, especially if you’re living in Nowheresville, USA, Dave McCarty and Ric Ballas were looking for kicks and dug up some trash from the graveyard of dead equipment and stashed it in a basement…and came up with THIS! Emerges channels Roky Erickson and his demons, and then they’ll launch into some kinda sub-Stooges blues howl, only to set the controls for a melancholy space trip. Where’d they get the keyboard? The term basement psych gets thrown around a lot (guilty as charged) but it was invented for Stone Harbour. Did you see Be Kind, Rewind? Emerges plays like a home recorded version of Apocalypse Now; McCarty and Ballas delve deep into the psychedelic heart of darkness with very limited means, and come up with a unique slice of Americana that is truly one of a kind. Unreleased tracks as well. Wow. You’ll never be the same. [AK]
Stock has risen for Stone Harbour in recent years, as the right tastemakers have name-checked it enough to push it from total obscurity to lost classic. Emerges is the sole record by these two acid casualties from NE Ohio, a spaced mix of pastoral electric folk jams and swirling guitar/keyboard passages all held together by the duo's vocal harmonies. It's fried enough for even the most out-there heads, light enough to pull in folk fans and for it's time - 1974 - was so out of fashion that only now has it found a legion of fans.
