This Was Never Home

Arrested Development

Earthy acoustic guitars meet soulful boom-bap. A mature, sun-drenched reflection on heritage and resilience that trades the city for the red clay of the South.

It's like a soulful backyard barbecue where the music is as good as the conversation.

A resilient and sun-warmed reflection on identity and heritage that feels like a spiritual homecoming.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The rhythmic interplay of acoustic strumming and boom-bap percussion on The Harvest Is Here.

The soaring vocal harmonies that elevate the hook of Each Generation into a spiritual anthem.

The stripped-back, vulnerable delivery on Weight (Off My Back) that closes the album with a sigh of relief.
