Back Home

Description

The feminist Black punk band Big Joanie has announced the release of their second album "Back Home," following the single "Happier Still" and the release of the single "Cranes in the Sky" in 2020, a cover of Solange Knowles released on Jack White’s Third Man Records label. Recorded at Hermitage Works Studios in north London, "Back Home" was produced and mixed by Margo Broom (Goat Girl, Fat White Family) and features violin played by Charlotte Valentine of the experimental art rock project No Home. "Back Home" is a spectacular leap forward for the band; the band builds on its tightly knit lo-fi punk formula to produce a collage of fiery guitars, down-tempo dance punk and melancholic chords that evoke all the depth of the band’s expansive art punk vision. The album’s strength lies in the band’s bold and varied new sound blending gothic folk and Grunge influence, inspired both by the melodic rock of Hüsker Dü and the mystical sensibilities of Stevie Nicks.
