All Roads Lead Home is a couple of years old, but only really came to prominence this year with its inclusion in the fantastic TV documentary, Deadliest Catch. Normally, soundtracking TV isn’t a big deal but this was arguably one of the best scene-song fits in recent memory, as it was chosen for the powerful scenes surrounding the heart-wrenching death of Captain Phil Harris.
It’s a brilliant piece of alternative music, driven emotionally by fantastic vocals that vary throughout the track in a fitting manner: In particular, the hook is delivered in a desperate, reaching manner that is incredibly endearing. The instrumentation is superb, as the verses are calmly backed by soft acoustic work, whilst the hook and last third of the track are atmospheric, powerful and fitted together beautifully.
There’s no weak link in this track, and really is worth a listen. Support the band and buy it on iTunes for a few pennies: it’s the best 79p I’ve spent in ages.
