The place we call home says a lot about who we are, and it’s amazing how many inconsequential details go into making a place feel like home. That one creaky floorboard in the hallway, the cupboard door that always sits a little crooked, that pesky squirrel that keeps raiding the bird feeders, the pothole out front that all the locals instinctively know to swerve around. Tiny quirks and oddities that give a place character, the kind you never stop to think about but would find yourself strangely nostalgic for if they were no longer there. In the case of ‘Ghosts of Neighborhood Dogs’, the latest solo single from Kelcey Ayer, it’s the barking of a neighbour’s Doberman that had become so familiar that your swear you can still here it echoing even after he’s gone. Taken from Kelcey’s new EP No Sleep, out 18th July, this new single practices what it preaches by leaving its earworm melody echoing in your mind long after the song fades. Between the superb harmonising with guest vocalist Jordana, the airy arrangement reminiscent of Wild Pink, and a central melody so simple and striking that it feels like you’ve known it all your life, it’s safe to say there’s something about this song that feels like home.
