Cargo Ship Nostromo (Celtic Ballad Version)

The album title refers to Ursula Le Guin's novel of the same name.

“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings “ - Ursula Le  Guin



Always Coming Home Is an album concerned with potential. Every beginning contains within it any number of possible paths and destinations. Every moment is a potential for a new beginning. And so Jesse LeGallais who had moved from Montreal with his wife and two young kids after the ending of his Montreal project CTZNSHP,  was musically adrift. Writing and recording nosey or electronic music in his basement after the kids were asleep and releasing them into the void. He reached out to  Palmer Jamieson, who was also going through some significant life upheavals, having recently put his life and studio build on pause due to an injury. What began as a small email asking if Palmer had time to mix a couple tracks turned into a year and a half long journey where an album was written, recorded, broken down and re-recorded from the ground up. Thus Storm Recorder was born. For over a year  Jesse and Palmer spent their days in Terence Bay working. No time limits, no specific destinations, money running out, just determination to make something beautiful.. With their Egos left at the door, a musical partnership emerged that was complementary, supportive and driven. Embracing the kind of music they wanted to make as opposed to what might be “of the moment”  the two emerged in the fall of 2024 with an album “Always Coming Home”  and a song featured in a surprise Netflix hit movie. Always Coming Home wears its influences on its sleeves but ends up being its own unique sonic and lyrical world. A Dynamic, emotional, fun and lively record bursting with energy, restless experimenting, a commitment to emotional resonance of the song over the theoretical idea of it. Always Coming Home traverses varied musical landscapes always ending up sounding like Storm Recorder. It is the sound of the shoot leaving the seed holding with it so much potential and promise of beautiful things to come.

The Way That You Made Me (Official)

Well, I got to bed at 2am and lay awake all night
Wondering who's kissing her and if she had the right
To blame me, for those empty feelings

Morning comes another round of standing my own ground
Leading to the emptiness that I have truly found
To be setting in, all around me, all around

Struggling for daily bread and constantly distracted
Was this just a poor excuse for me to be detracting
Our love, our love

Left inside a lonely room, feeling broken hearted
Never gave a reason to her, why my heart departed
Never noticed, until our love was gone, gone

Driving tears away, waiting for someone to say
I heard your situation, everything will be ok
This is a lie, there is no time
It's lonely here and I still pine for our love, our love

OUR LOVE
