Homes at Night Release “Midwest Summer”
Homes at Night is a Nashville-based duo of songwriters Hank Compton and Askel Coe. They have recently released their newest single “Midwest Summer”, which can be streamed here.
Since the release of their previous single “Texaco”, Homes at Night have been busy with back-to-back tours with Saint Motel and Arts Fishing Club. Now that they have more free time, they’re ready to share “Midwest Summer”. The track carefully blends anthemic alternative rock with hazy indie-pop melodies.
“‘Midwest Summer’ really feels like two different songs melded into one. It’s an approachable, nostalgia-bomb in the indie-alt vein that feels perfect for late night drives on a humid Summer night. But it’s also a melancholic song that follows the story of two former lovers visiting their hometown at the same time, seeing if they can reignite their high-school flame through the lens of nostalgia. As we are on tour in the Midwest currently, this song has become the soundtrack of our travels and we can’t wait to share it!”
Homes at Night blur all boundaries between genre and generation with their alternative pop/rock anthems. Their sound is both nostalgic and modern, layered with organic instruments, synth-driven soundscapes, cinematic hooks, percussive pulse, and story driven writing. All of these things combined is a nod towards their Nashville roots while pushing far beyond them. With multiple US tours and press support from idobi Radio and Atwood Magazine under their belt, they are a very exciting new band on the rise.
