This week we’ve been featuring Ross Bellenoit‘s collection of EPs, Home Songs Volumes 1 – 3, in Unlocked, The Key’s regular series showcasing new and significant releases from Philadelphia musicians. It’s called Home Songs because Bellenoit recorded the bulk of the music at home, in the comfort zone of his living room. For this collection, his goal was immediacy – pinning a song down and documenting it when it’s fresh, before he’s had time to overthink. We’ll explore that philosophy and process tomorrow, when Ross tells us more in our interview. First, though, it seems appropriate to get a look at the house he speaks of. This video was made for “Besides,” the opening track on Home Songs Volume 1, and in it you see the songwriter wear many hats – percussionist, guitarist, accompanist and singer. When he celebrates the conclusion of the Home Songs project this Friday at Underground Arts, we presume there will only be one of him onstage – but how cool would it be if Ross and his Band of Bellenoits?



Home Songs Volumes 1-3 is the featured album in this edition of Unlocked; hear the spotlighted track “Down to One” in Monday’s post, read yesterday’s album review; and check back tomorrow for an interview with Bellenoit.
