Lespecial – Ancient Homies (CD)
Product Details
Hartford-bred trio lespecial built their reputation the old-fashioned way, grinding through years of relentless touring and festival appearances to earn a devoted following that responds to their fusion of heavy rock, hip-hop, and electronic textures. *Ancient Homies* sits at the center of that evolution, showcasing a band confident enough to let the improvisational stretches breathe alongside tightly constructed songs, a balance that translates just as well on record as it does in a live room.
2021 release. Ancient Homies is the third full-length album by lespecial. Conceptually, Ancient Homies deals with themes of travel throughout different planes, both physical and meta-physical. Lyrically it explores concepts of "boundaries" and how one can transport themselves, either physically across the infinite vastness of space, or mentally to a different mental plane, as we believe the best musical pieces to do. The other-worldly quality of music is echoed in samples from '50s and '60s sci-fi/horror films such as "The Thing From Another World" and "Quatermass and the Pit". The quotes from these films that deal with unearthing ancient, primordial secrets act as a through line throughout the Homie Improv Interludes.
