Out today: ECOLOGY: HOMESTONES


The self-titled album by Ecology: HomeStones is out today on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia.



First surfacing online in 2020, Ecology: HomeStones is a mysterious audio-visual project, allegedly created by The FPPC, an organization whose sole known member is Philadelphia-based artist Dylan Pecora whose other credits include work for Merzbow and Saturday Night Live.

On the strength of a series of short, mesmerizing video clips, depicting an alternate world of pulsating flesh entities, strange fluids, and shadowy characters, set to a soundtrack of anthemic industrial-noise compositions, Ecology: HomeStones has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers across TikTok and Instagram.

Confounding, grotesque, and hilarious, Ecology: HomeStones' visuals suggest an elaborate order of arcane processes and corporeal obsessions, calling to mind the works of Matthew Barney and David Lynch, among others.

The tracks pulse and squelch gloriously – collages of bizarre voices, gentle tones, hypnotic rhythms, soaring melodies, and distorted mayhem, structured for maximum impact.

"Ecology: HomeStones is the type of project that’s entirely too difficult to summarize—and one which clearly knows that it’s too difficult to summarize, basking in the confusion their industrial brand of ambient noise and visceral, surreal imagery seems to conjure."
–Flood Magazine

"Ecology: HomeStones presents art which is not easy to pinpoint precisely, relying on surreal imagery and an ambient noise sound with an industrial edge. The visuals and the industrial / noise compositions come together to exude an unsettling tone, and reflect an overall experimental mindset."
–Destroy//Exist

"It’s weird. Like David Cronenberg, eXistnenZ weird, with a metal, drone, noise tinge."
–Metal Epidemic

"Adding to the lore, Ecology HomeStones claims to be created by The FPPC, an organization whose sole known member is Philadelphia-based sculptor and video director, Dylan Pecora. The project uses industrial sounds while combining grotesque concepts with cartoonish elements."
–Scene Point Blank
