Review

Carrtoons' "Homegrown" is a radiant tapestry of sound, weaving together the soulful threads of Motown, the rhythmic pulses of hip-hop, and the breezy textures of indie rock. Released in 2022, this 14-track marvel showcases Carrtoons' boundless creativity and prowess as both a multi-instrumentalist and producer. From the jubilant opening notes of the title track "Homegrown," the album invites listeners into a vibrant soundscape, while tracks like "Toons" and "Groceries" (featuring Nigel Hall) keep the momentum with their infectious rhythms and irresistible melodies.

The album sparkles with collaborations, including the mellow vibes of Rae Khalil on "Lighta" and unforgettable tunes like "Be There for You" and "Vamp." Carrtoons' production echoes the genius of J Dilla and Anderson .Paak, with a hint of Khruangbin's psychedelic charm, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Each song dances between laid-back, atmospheric grooves and spirited, upbeat passages, creating an engaging journey that warms the soul like a sun-drenched afternoon. "Homegrown" stands proudly as a testament to Carrtoons' musical ingenuity, offering a little something for fans of every sonic stripe. - Lorelei
