Musee Mecanique – Like Home

• 11th Jan 2010

Rustic sounding, acoustic titled, patting percussion bobbed and Four Tet mirroring folk, indie and pop conjoining Micah Rabwin and Sean Ogilvie led Portland quintet, pours out a subtly weaving debut single.

‘Like Home’, is a post three minute epic, at times uplifting and at other times, soul-searching and wandering. Slowly delivered, hovering vocals underline the points made about nostalgia and insecurity.

B-side, ‘Under Glass’ seeps out a dreamy pop acoustic toe, taking on a slower ode style, tugging at the heart strings from the off. It is easy to imagine Rabwin and Ogilvie penning this tune, whilst sat aloft in one of Oregon’s redwood trees, gazing out over the horizon, pondering what it has to offer?

This debut single firmly sets out Musee Mecanique’s manifesto, to bring quiet contemplation back into the heart of music.
