Awash in deep grooves, lush textures and the LA-based, Boston-bred artist’s signature synthesized violin, ‘Home Music’ trades in snobbish dress codes and triple-digit bar tabs for a cozy collection of five effortless tunes that together reveal beautiful, filthy beats are always the main event. No VIP wristband required. A classically trained violinist who cut her teeth among LA’s beat scene masters, Bad Snacks brings her limitless sensibilities to this deeply personal project. In ‘Home Music’, we see the pioneering artist blend lofi auras with uptempo magic for a listen that cuts deep indeed. Elevated by powerful lyrics, the EP simultaneously serves as a string of intimate journal entries that recount a tumultuous chapter in its creator’s life — one in which Bad Snacks found herself moving across country, navigating heartbreak and ultimately searching for the answer to the timeless question: “What is the meaning of ‘home’?” In her Nettwerk debut, Bad Snacks reclaims her metaphorical sense of shelter by way of gorgeous, sweeping instrumentals and exceptional storytelling. “For me, the project really has been just a huge lesson,” she shares candidly. “I’ve come to the realization that home is wherever you are, and that things really are going to be okay.” It’s a message we can all relate to these days — so chill out, press play and take comfort in knowing that ‘Home Music’ will transport you to exactly where you’re meant to be.
