STONE have announced their second album, AUTONOMY, set to be released on February 20, 2026, via V2. The album follows their debut album Fear Life For A Lifetime and promises to be their "most collaborative, personal and real music yet".
To mark the announcement, STONE have released a new single, MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO, which is described as "gritty, unfiltered and restless".
MONEY SEE MONKEY DO is about "temptation and the chaos of partying when control slips away. The birdy in your ear screams for more and the mirror only reflects something you do not want to see. The chant of 'MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO' captures that loss of control.
The song also reflects on the industry and the tension between authenticity and the image that media prefers, using sharp metaphors to convey this message.
AUTONOMY is the result of the band's collaborative efforts, with members Fin Power, Elliot Gill, Sarah Surrage, and Alex Smith working together to create their most personal and real music yet.
