Homegrown

Description

On "Homegrown," the band's instrumental chemistry speaks for itself. Every riff, every groove, every drum roll vibrates with energy and atmosphere in equal measure. The result is an album that is both massive and meditative, steeped in the saturated traditions of classic stoner rock, while pulsating with the free spirit of psychedelic prog jams. "A dense and powerful elixir that will propel your soul into the vastness of the prog cosmos," the band says of their new opus. This confidence shines through strongly. Recorded with raw intensity, "Homegrown" captures the band at its peak, instinctive and inspired, a transcendental journey entirely driven by their instrumental chemistry. After years of high-voltage concerts across Sweden alongside bands like Endless Boogie and Öresund Space Collective, Homegrown has forged a reputation for turning stages into volcanic experiences. With their eponymous album, the band confirms its status as one of the most captivating instrumental acts in Scandinavia. Without lyrics or gimmicks, their music washes over the audience in powerful sound waves. Formed in 2021, Homegrown quickly made a name for itself with its saturated sound, a blend of psychedelic exploration and hypnotic groove. Their early work, including the EP Berget Gråter (2023) and the album Himalayaz (2024), showcased a raw, vocal-driven approach, with guitarist Cedric Bergendal on vocals. But for this new opus, they opted for vocals, and truth be told, they don't need them.
