The idea behind the "Home" series is simple : Take
two artists, ask each for three exclusive songs and,
to finish it off, add a cover version of one of the
other's songs to the tracklisting. This fifth edition
in the series (licensed here from the Post-Parlo
label) features Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie/The
Postal Service) and Andrew Kenny (American Analog
Set). Both artists prove that reduced
singer-/songwriting (both only require their voice
and an acoustic guitar) does not necessarily have to
deal with whining self-indulgence or with the tyranny
of songs about the absent (ex-)girlfriend. Instead,
Gibbard and Kenny both succeed in approaching the
subject of this ep's title with subtlety: Home. After
all, this is the place both are longing for most of
the time, as they constantly travel from one gig to
another. So it just fits nicely that all of these
songs were recorded on fourtrack in the artisits'
living rooms in New York and Seattle. The choice of
their covers - Ben Gibbard plays American Analog
Set's "Choir Vandals', Andrew Kenny interprets" Line
Of Best Fit" by Death Cab can only stress their close
connection. It's also telling that after over 50
releases on the label to date, "Home" impressed Morr
Music enough to become the very first release that
they've licensed from another imprint. High praise
indeed.
