The new collection of songs also sees the band exploring themes of triumph over adversity, resilience, and unfulfilled relationships. It also serves as a continuation of the band\u2019s full-length album, <em>Hometown<\/em>\u2014released in December 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As lead guitarist Armo Armovit describes it, <em>Hometown, Part 2<\/em> is all about finding connection in uncertain times. \u201cWe explored new ways of expressing familiar feelings with renewed perspectives incorporating different production elements, arrangement choices, and improved approaches to performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title also speaks for itself, serving as a continuation of one\u2019s story, much like coming home to rest after a long journey and staying an extra weekend to reset. The record\u2019s songwriting, on the other hand, was inspired by the members\u2019 collective and individual fascination with K-drama and documentaries, as well as first-hand experiences with real-life events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing a lot of inspiration from pop and electronic elements, the 19-track album is produced by constant collaborator Joey Santos of Love One Another Studios, who has worked with some of the biggest and most underrated Philippine acts, including Ang Bandang Shirley, syd hartha, Coeli, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armo explains, \u201cJoey Santos did a great job crafting the treatment for songs and dressing them in colors and styles that best express the message. The process was very organic and natural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hometown, Part 2<\/em> is accompanied by the release of its focus track, \u201cSo Close,\u201d which features pop singer Morissette. The song was specifically penned by Yael Yuzon, and tackles the story of two people who have built a deep connection over time, but whose relationship never really progressed into something that could last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a song that took me 20 years to write,\u201d shares vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon. \u201cInspired by <em>Dead Stars<\/em> by Paz Marquez Benitez and <em>The Unbearable Lightness of Being<\/em> by Milan Kundera, <em>So Close<\/em> talks about the possibility of a mirage in our poetic memory, a \u2018what if\u2019 that may have been nothing more than a light radiating from a dead star. We might just be romanticizing things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other songs in the album include previous releases \u201c<strong>Labis-labis<\/strong>,\u201d a soaring tune that puts a uniquely captivating but relatable spin on the \u2018love song\u2019 format; \u201c<strong>Hometown<\/strong>,\u201d a grungy pop track with electronic textures and a catchy chorus; and \u201c<strong>Siguro nga<\/strong>,\u201d a pop-rock ballad based on a character study of a popular K-drama character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Track list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">1.
