Climbing trees older than anyone alive We braid our intestines together Spitting teeth into each other's mouths Back and forth until we make a smile

latest doodle diary entry based around the album 'the whaler' from home is where 🦟 discovered this band about a year ago at the very tail end of 2023, just a couple months after losing my brother, and it's been one of the containers i keep my grief in 🎁

& sometimes it’s easy to forget I’m me & the king is dead & every king is a thief.

home is where | long distance conjoined twins

hey, samantha, let’s trespass vacant properties we claim are our bodies. there are birds on telephone lines where your heart’s supposed to be; all in even rows but no electricity flows.

everyday feels like 9/11 - Home is Where (2023)

this counterfeit reality, a perfect copy of a forgery. & after all these years i still look a lot like me. you’re your own tapeworm: every night, sunlight moonlights as moonlight. mirrors mirroring mirrors; teeth growing under teeth.

Home Is Where recently returned with a new single called "migration patterns", and it's the first offering from their highly anticipated 3rd LP, Hunting Season. Everything that's made HIW such a distinctive 5th wave emo touchstone throughout their brief, but beloved discography (disarmingly melodic harmonica and singing saw passages, anarchist ideas cloaked in surrealist imagery, urgency and ambition that never come at the expense of honest expression, etc) is in amply supply here, but the music never begins to sound like a retread so much as a potent refinement of their strengths.

On "migration patterns" it's the distinctive flourishes, like the way the first few beats of the kick/snare rhythm ignite the first riff, which then ignites the harmonica, which then ends up taking the lead role, the giddy "Wooooo" that frontwoman Bea MacDonald yelps right before kicking off the 2nd verse, and the harmonica solo that fucking rips, that all elevate "migration patterns" beyond what might otherwise simply be yet another great HIW song. And in true HIW fashion, they cap off what would otherwise be a straightforward, sincere song grappling with mortality with lines that unfold with a smirk "I'd never want/To live forever/I'd still have/To go to work". In other words, the singular charms of HIW have only continued to amplify.
