Review Text
2021 release. Ancient Homies is the third full-length album by lespecial. Conceptually, Ancient Homies deals with themes of travel throughout different planes, both physical and meta-physical. Lyrically it explores concepts of "boundaries" and how one can transport themselves, either physically across the infinite vastness of space, or mentally to a different mental plane, as we believe the best musical pieces to do. The other-worldly quality of music is echoed in samples from '50s and '60s sci-fi/horror films such as "The Thing From Another World" and "Quatermass and the Pit". The quotes from these films that deal with unearthing ancient, primordial secrets act as a through line throughout the Homie Improv Interludes.
