The Home Recordings...

Home Life was recorded throughout the years 2015-2016 in Randazzo's makeshift home studio. It is base on a true story. Each day a dining room table was removed for a drumset. A laptop was wired up on a kitchen bar top. Microphones hung from a living room ceiling fan. Notebooks of lyrics carpeted the floor... And each night it was taken down and packed away. This album was arranged to be enjoyed [first] with a complete listen- each song feeds off of it's neighbor's energy or lack-there-of and the arc of the story builds and declines in a seemingly calculated manor. Soundscapes escort the listener from one song's world to the next forming a loose chronology. As his first major release, Randazzo explores his own psyche in a dramaticized retelling of the antics at his childhood home and, while vetting such personal affairs, succeeds in presenting a collection with universal meaning. It's hard to imagine an adventurous tune like "Who's There?" is just about waiting for a guest to arrive. "Line to the Attic" turns a musty storage space into a twisted yet whimsical circus. Underneath the title track's raucous energy lies a morbid account of a youth ending his life and his family then crumbling under the assuming sorrows. It's easy to forget this work is a sonic scrapbook from a middle class home. Home Life is a huge production with a humble base, it takes itself seriously but implements humor, and all the while becomes that much more human.
