Jay Weinberg shared his first solo song “Sandstone” featuring Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke.

The former Slipknot and current Suicidal Tendencies drummer first teased the song earlier this month and then officially released it yesterday (Nov. 19). Not only does Weinberg play drums on “Sandstone,” but he also handles all the other instruments.

In an interview with Australia’s Wall of Sound, he revealed that he has been working on this particular song for at least six years.

“Guitar is actually the instrument that I started with. I began playing drums at 14, but I started playing guitar when I was nine, and that’s always been my primary writing instrument. Whenever I sit down to write, it’s typically with a guitar first,” Weinberg told the publication.

Therefore, “Sandstone” is the first in a series of collaborative songs where he primarily manages all of the instrumentation and invites a guest vocalist to complete the track.

“I’ve always wanted to collaborate mainly with vocalists and just create a very low-pressure environment, like, ‘Hey, here’s a song, why don’t we…’ instead of, ‘Oh we have to start a side project.’

He felt that Clarke’s voice was perfect for “Sandstone” and described it as “an absolute dream” to work with him.

Weinberg does not have any concrete details regarding the release of the EP but hopes it will be out sometime in early 2026.

Jay Weinberg, ‘Sandstone’ (featuring George Clarke)

Jay Weinberg, ‘Sandstone’ Lyrics

I squirmed through sandstone statues
Saw deeply miners in iron-rust cages
Their lamps as beacons through
Great mornings collapsing
Fellows stare absent

The faded moon fixed outside
Faint pianos ring ghastly
With these dreams never quenching
Our chords of appetite

Endangered genius in a circle of fire
Ashes in the air speckle our garden

Oh,
The faded moon fixed outside
Faint pianos ring ghastly
With these dreams never quenching
Our chords of appetite

Wait for the danger of the flood

We’ve clubbed the horses legs
Drilled into the ground
Of our mother
In the water

Wash clean the iron cranes
Of our elders
Shine light through landscapes
Of catastrophe,
Smoking and aching
Smoke stacks are silos
For our saviors
Witnessing
Intimidation on the borderline
Praying for lightness to cure the blind

All these reasons
Are now forgotten
All of these choices
We gave to the world,
We laid in the tomb
