The dense melancholia of "home" from California's conk creet might feel like a departure from the band's normal blend of surf / doo wop punk / garage rock but it is no less impactful and, besides, even their most mosh worth material has emotional underpinnings. "home" stirs you into the foggy fray and the surreal Beach House meets Twin Peaks (the 90's TV series) atmospheres are magnetic as are the embracing vocals painting a picture of heartbreak that easily wraps around you. I absolutely love the inclusion of piano and the way everything else steps back to hear it. The drum sound with piano and heavy bass tones is heavenly as is the gorgeous lead work that flows in like a dance.
The production feels wonderfully spatial and I appreciate actually being able to hear the lyrics despite the sort of shoegaze approach.
