Goodbyehome takes you places most Folk/Rock artists stay away from in Rain Dance, while keeping all the soul and emotion of said genre in Apache Hotel. Their experimental side in Rain Dance takes cues from the synthetic sounds of Radiohead. The marriage of these two genres produces something closer to Wilco, not in sound, but in musicianship. Goodbyehome has a feel that they can truly claim as their own. With that said, the band is not afraid to stay simple and organic through the use of acoustic instruments (notably, real strings). I'm excited about this band and the originality they're embracing while sustaining a humble sound.

Song Recommendation: Rain Dance


Breathless, excitingly embryonic on stage, with a rare folky wistfulness that makes your heart soar and drop simultaneously, Goodbyehome make the music that would accompany sad, fond memories of a road trip where, after driving for hours in the wilderness, you met a beautiful girl at a bar in the middle of nowhere, and spent your whole night with her, knowing you'd never see her again.
