about

Nostalgia comes in multiple forms - words, sounds, people. The directions to a place you haven't been in years, walking by a boombox playing on an apartment windowsill. Remembering love, and remembering loss. At times 'You're Home' feels like you're wandering around a carnival taking in all the lights and sounds on a visceral level, too much going on to form more than an idea of a landscape around you. Then there are the slower moments, not in their pace but in how they make you consider the moment. Eventually the tape stops but the feeling takes longer to leave, you're sitting with yourself and paying attention to how you feel. After a bit, you start over at the beginning to learn a little more.

The first single off the album, also the title track, "You're Home" feels like a sunrise on a hazy morning, when you're not sure the fog is going to lift. Like a train slowly leaving the station to make its way down the coast. Like standing at the counter making coffee and looking forward to a day full of possibilities, of making new memories and reflecting on the old.

As is made clear on the second track, Tynan is the guy. Through his work pulling loops from various home recordings of family and friends, you can feel an undeniable human presence throughout the album. Loops and repetition are, after all, the majority of interactions with the people we love. Maybe it's more accurate to say that the nostalgia present here is really just love, looped over and over. It's rare we get to fully experience the way other people feel, but 'You're Home' is undeniably the product of the artist, and to get to see someone's memories is one of the best things in the world.

This album is dedicated to Tynan's brother, Max Krakoff, who died unexpectedly March 22, 2022 at the age of 35. Max can be heard talking/singing on "Break A Leg" (circa 1994) and faintly in the background on "The Door Was Locked" (circa 2004).

Sir Tad is Tynan Krakoff (autoharp, Magnus electric organ, melodica, Casiotone MT-30, circuit bent keyboards, microKORG, Yamaha PSR-310, Duofone TAD-112A answering machine, tape players, tape loops, Atamatone pink guy, Stylophone, melodica, rock tumbler, Zoom H2n)

Vocal samples collected from friends & family 1969, 1994, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2020, and unknown years. Boxus plays bass on "We've Got it From Here"
