Home Is Where - The Whaler LP

**Ltd Milky Clear Vinyl

Home Is Where make anxiety-riddled but cathartic rock songs about the apocalypse. The whaler-the Palm Coast, Florida quartet's ambitious and exhilarating sophomore full-length-is a concept record about getting used to things getting worse. Across 10 interconnected but self-contained songs, the album captures the desensitization and disorientation of tragedy becoming mundane. The whaler, produced by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Deafheaven), marks an unmistakable new chapter for frontwoman Bea MacDonald's songwriting, subverting the expectations left by her band's 2021 debut LP I Became Birds for something equally resonant, but darker and more expansive. The whaler was released in June 2023 to acclaim Pitchfork, Paste, Stereogum, and more.
