Description
Death, taxes, and change: they’re the only three things you can rely on, and
nobody knows about the latter better than Creature Comfort. Since the release of
2016’s Echoes and Relics, the local quintet has navigated through personal
turmoil and lineup changes to arrive at what can only be described as a total
rebirth. Now, as they prep the release of their upcoming full length, Home Team,
they’re back with hard-earned wisdom and an even harder-won sound.
Frontman Jessey Clark’s anthemic, heart-on-your sleeve lyrics and end-of-the-
day vocals haven’t gone anywhere, but on Home Team, the writing is—thanks in
no small part to new lead guitarist Charlie Hickerson—backed by a rawer sound
that draws on the band’s Tullahoma, Tennessee roots. Add in multi-
instrumentalist Alex Robinson’s lush backing vocals, Cole Bearden’s ever-mobile
bass, and Taylor Cole’s spry drumming, and you’ve got record that the band has
affectionately dubbed “bootgaze.” Think of it as Fleet Foxes for people who grew
up bailing hay, or your favorite indie record—if that record were scattered,
smothered, and covered, of course.
