A jangly, introspective rocker from Hanemoon, anti-war song “They Bring The War Back Home” compels in its melodic immediacy and stirring themes. The Berlin-based project of Hans Forster, also known for his previous work under Seaside Stars & Sealevel, excels with a memorable sound throughout his newly released EP, Easy on the Wildlife, out via Subjangle.
“They Bring The War” maintains a captivating quality throughout. Its warm jangle-pop sound coincides with a poignant lyrical perspective on misplaced government priorities, emphasizing the harms of war on both a global and local setting. The lyrics critique the normalization of war and global crises — highlighting how external conflicts reverberate locally, within the rousing “when we got war back home,” refrain. The vocals exude a hypnotic, contemplative steadiness throughout, melding with the crisp rhythms and twanging guitars for an enduring impact.
