NEARLY two years on from the release of their debut album ‘Howdy’, Home$lice are back and pushing the parameters of their effervescent indie sound into exciting new territories.
Recorded with Peter Fletcher (Kagoule, Childhood, Flamingods) in Black Bay Studio in Stornaway, new single ‘Let Me Know’ sees them beef up their lo-fi sound and add greater nuance to their songwriting with the introduction of shared lead vocals and vibrant synth lines. Alex Porteous and Josh McDowell share the lead, their vocals intertwining as they both lament the departure of a familiar presence, as if the pair are inextricably linked by a shared sense of loss. Delivering their soft vocals against a backdrop of plaintive guitars and keyboards, drummer Josh Cardle maintains the rhythm throughout, driving them to the precipice as their emotions heighten before pulling them back in again.
A striking return from the Glasgow-based outfit, ‘Let Me Know’ feels like big leap forward for Home$lice. Check it out below.
