HOME collective was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2019 with the aim to combine genres and to bring musicians and artists from different musical fields together. As a result, listeners with diverse musical preferences have been exposed to a wide array of expressions throughout a concert or record, jumping from hiphop to jazz and from fusion to freely improvised parts. These musical shifts comes out as relaxed and natural, as the music always relies on, and finds its way back home to a sturdy groove foundation. The debut album "HOME", released on indie jazz label HOOB records january 2021, has been
well-recieved by reviewers and audiences. With a few liveshows performed before the pandemic hit, HOME collective longs to meet their audience live soon again.
