Artist Home Premiere: Sometimes, I Worry by Naomi Wachira
For over a decade, Naomi Wachira has spoken to matters of the heart with an expressive voice and self-penned songs that radiate a warmth that’s almost tactile. Those elements make anything she touches something truly special, so Artist Home is delighted to be premiering Sometimes, I Worry, Wachira’s new EP. The last ten-plus years have…

Seattle band Forest Ray kicks up some serious dust on “Please Be Nice (to Me),” the second single from their forthcoming full-length, Windf**ker, and Artist Home is damned proud to be premiering it here. If you want to put a fine enough point on it, Forest Ray’s often rootsy, very handmade sound could be dubbed…

Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: Get Back by Annie J
Seattle-based Singer Annie J has amassed a dizzying number of credits as a singer over the years, and it’s easy to hear why. She’s deployed her impressive, incredibly nimble voice on a ton of collaborations spanning NOLA-style blasts of jazz (45th Street Brass), electro-pop (Odesza), and some of rock’s most iconic songs (lushly backed by…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Party with You” by Chris King and the Gutterballs
Singer/Guitarist Chris King and Bassist Malcolm Roberts, mainstays of The Gutterballs, want to (wait for it) Party with You. News flash: The world’s enduring an extra-tumultuous time at the moment. Given that unfortunate truth, there’s no way of overstating the cathartic curative power that a great song can deliver. So if a single addresses these…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Feelings Part 2,” by Surrealized
Seattle trio Surrealized have been at it for over a decade now, mining a fertile combination of the synthetic and the organic with their sound.

Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: The Music Scene, comics by Spencer Glenn
Not everything spawned from social media sucks. Case in point: The Music Scene, Cartoonist/Musician Spencer Glenn’s comics series premiering here at Artist Home. It’s a knowing, good-natured, and very funny look at the denizens of the local music community—and it all started on the socials. Artist Home co-founder Kevin Sur planted the seeds of the…

Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Cinderella” by Julia Francis
The best blues musicians roar most fiercely in a live setting. That live muscle partially explains why “Cinderella,” the blistering new single from Seattle-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Julia Francis, is so damned kick-you-in-the-teeth great. And Artist Home proudly premieres it here, just in time for Bandcamp Friday (artists get 100% proceeds on all Bandcamp purchases today). <a…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Tricky” by Wild Powwers
Seattle three-piece Wild Powwers can bring the hammer down with the best of them. The power trio of singer/guitarist Lara Hilgemann, bass player Jordan Gomes, and drummer Lupe Flores hit with an attack that slams riot grrrl energy, power pop, and heavy-assed garage grunge together to exhilarating effect. And Artist Home is stoked to premiere…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Better Than Yesterday” by Gibraltar
Seattle band Gibraltar has spent almost a decade walking a tightrope balance between indie-rock introspection and fist-pumping rock heroics. Their last full-length, 2017’s Let’s Get Beautiful, pretty much perfected that very fine line, with a set of songs that seamlessly incorporated elements of post-punk and goth music with the anthemic catharsis of classic rock artists…
