Flow Commotion’s founding members Paddy Jenkins and Tim Russell penned their latest single “Come Back Home” while jamming in the summer of 2016/17, but it’s taken this long to hit your ears. Perhaps we just had to wait long enough for the lads to meet audio engineering student Jak Sherlock at the Australian Institute of Music Sydney. His mixing and mastering put the final polish on this acoustic guitar-driven earworm.
“We love ‘Come Back Home’ because it often reminds us of where we started and the journey it has been in getting to where we are today. We finished writing Come Back Home in Paddy’s living room almost 2 years ago and since then it has set the standard for the quality of music we want to write,” the band affirmed in a press statement. “The lyrics ring true to us as both artists and people and we hope they resonate with our listeners. We always get goose bumps listening to ‘Come Back Home’ because it makes us think of how far we have come – from two 20 year-olds jamming with a single acoustic guitar to the track you are listening to today.”
2018 has been a big year for Flow Commotion, who were the feature artist at RAW’s Envision showcase, an achievement which has come off the back of a steady schedule of innercity Sydney gigs. With quality songs like this in their back pocket, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of Australia pays attention.
