Music Corner Week 78: Homecomings

Homecomings is a four-member multi-gendered rock band that form back in 2012 from Kyoto. After first meeting during their college years, the band currently is making a splash in the indie scene with their music comprised with fuzzy filled composition, bittersweet dream-pop melodies with beautiful vocal harmonies, and were tipped as “the next break-out indie band to watch out for” by several pop-culture media sites. This fame brought eyes to Pony Canyon’s sub-label IRORI Records which where they’ll be making their major label debut from in 2021.

Inspired by prior industry legends such as ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and Quruli, Homecomings keeps the Japanese indie spirit strong with songs like “Cakes”, “Hurts”, and “Songbirds” which really blends that ‘indie garage-band’ feeling and nostalgic mid 00’s memories. Vocalist Ayaka Tatamino’s vocals does an interesting thing of both standing out at times but perfectly just fuses in with amazing composition. While not being the most energetic or mellowed out band in the scene, Homecomings makes up with perfection in thier craft of their own unique style with emotionally thought out lyrics that were sung in English in their early years. 

Homecomings has released three singles, four E.P.s and five albums throughout their career with their major label debut album Moving Days dropping at the time of this write up. Be sure to check out the band’s official website, Twitter, and Instagram, along with the lyric video for the track “Herge” below!
