Album Notes & Community Reviews

'You Should Be at Home Here' is the second full-length album from the influential Seattle slowcore group Carissa's Wierd. The record crystallizes the band's signature sound, built upon the melancholic, intertwining vocals of Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto, somber guitar work, and mournful violin passages. Its deeply introspective and lo-fi aesthetic helped define the Pacific Northwest indie scene of its era and has earned the album a lasting cult status.
