Release

The band was originally going to release the track Waratorium as the lead single from Oddfellows,[2] although it was later cancelled in favor of Stone Letter. Regarding why the song was chosen as the lead single, guitarist Duane Denison explained "‘Stone Letter’ was easily the most accessible, inoffensive sing-along-type song.... It seemed the most like other rock that is on the radio."[3]

Denison also elaborated he hoped the song would earn the band new fans, saying "If we suddenly have a deluge of teenage girls [at our concerts] wanting to hear ‘Stone Letter,’ I’d love it."[3]

Music video

On December 3, 2012 the band released the music video for the song online, directed by Vincent Forcier. It is the band's first official music video from this album.[4][5]

Track list
  1. "Stone Letter"
gollark: A quadrupling of CPU power in Mac Minis 7 years apart seems... unlikely, honestly?
gollark: I'm relatively sure the scoring is different on mobile and non-mobile devices. Apple have a really good CPU team and their stuff is ahead of other phone companies, but they can't beat *desktops* by that kind of margin on a fanless tablet thing.
gollark: ↑ Context and stuff is helpful.
gollark: Often other people can point out things you don't notice.
gollark: That happens quite often.
