FROM/HOME Vinyl Record

FROM / HOME contains loss and grief: A funeral, love lost, and a dense, confusing loneliness. Theres also a lot of joy and gratitude. Strewn across the sparse, guitar-driven arrangements are sounds sampled from phone videos of friends. Emmy calling out God,what a sky while taking off on a boat out on the lake on a bright summer night.Bandmates complimenting each other after a good run-through of a new song. Two pairsof feet in tandem making a steady beat against the gravel road while on a walk. Writingand recording these songs became a way to manifest and echo human connection from a place of solitude.

The music draws heavily on Americana and folk traditions, but also immerses itself in indie and post-rock elements with ambient delays, thick reverbs and layers of loopings in live performances. Nothing should have had such a big impact on H.B. Nielsen's music as the diversity of his traveling years. Musically, it's easy to draw to mind the countrymen DanielNorgren, who equally independently and earthily conveys the folk blues of today, and fingerpicking folk-giant The Tallest Man On Earth.
