Home Is Where formed in Palm Coast, Florida back in 2017, with their first EP debuting in 2019. They have since released an additional EP and two full albums and have announced a new album, Hunting Season, to be released at the end of May. The band became one of my favorite projects on the upcoming platform about four years ago, not long before I had the opportunity to see them on tour with Foxing in my hometown. They curate such a unique blend of auditory textures that labeling them has left me going in many directions, but nevertheless always with a softly added “gritty punk texture” to top and compliment whatever is being foreshadowed. It gives the band a somewhat revolutionary factor to their lyrics, as everything chanted and screamed is done through such high-wrung passion and determination.
Moving along, I’d never believe you had you told me the band recorded their new track in just under three days, so one could only imagine how blown my mind was when Home Is Where dropped a video for the new track. If you’re like me and your favorite attribute of their sound is the way the harmonica is embedded so perfectly within the tracks, this one doesn’t disappoint. What I always thought gave their tracks a more punk vibrancy has became a ritualistic staple point and characteristic of their music for many. The song, “migration patterns,” covers the monotony and strife of life for the average American working citizen. For what always ends up as the question whether we are living just to work and die and vice versa, Home Is Where melodically triumphs over this everyday confusion and intrusion of our thoughts with ardent bravery and bravado. Home Is Where are scheduled to drop the rest of the album via Wax Bodega on May 23.
