At Home

At Home is the sound of a band finding its soul in the form of a singular voice. Mariska Veres does not just sing these songs; she commands them, her alto cutting through the mix with a smoky, authoritative presence that was rare for the era. The music behind her is a tight, muscular blend of garage rock grit and psychedelic experimentation, where a sitar is just as likely to provide the hook as a distorted electric guitar. It feels like a bridge between the breezy pop of the mid-60s and the heavier, darker textures of the early 70s.
