Ashley Stacey returns with a dazzling new single, Turn It All Away, set for release on Friday 12th September, via Echo Bass Records, a track that feels like it was plucked from another dimension yet speaks directly to the here and now.
From the very first notes, Turn It All Away, establishes a hypnotic soundscape. A shimmering electric sitar spirals across the mix, underpinned by the earthy pulse of tabla rhythms, creating a sonic alchemy that feels both ancient and futuristic. This fusion of Eastern instrumentation and cosmic melody channels the spirit of George Harrison’s most transcendent Beatles moments, while also reimagining psychedelia for a modern audience.
There’s also a definite Kula Shaker vibe running through the track — that same fearless embrace of sitar-driven psychedelia and spiritual rock that made songs like Tattva and Govinda so distinctive. Yet Stacey isn’t content with nostalgia; instead, he pushes the sound further, infusing expansive modern production and a timelessly cosmic atmosphere that feels utterly his own.
The beauty of Turn It All Away lies in its ability to evoke that fleeting instant when everything shifts, when your consciousness expands and the world suddenly feels bigger. Haunting and immersive, it’s the kind of track that makes strangers stop mid-conversation and ask, “Wait, who IS this?”
With Turn It All Away, Ashley Stacey draws on the George Harrison’s spiritual explorations and the 90s revivalism of Kula Shaker, but he’s not just looking back — he’s moving psychedelia forward, crafting a sound that feels both reverent and revolutionary.
Turn It All Away is released on Friday 12th September and is available to pre-save here.
