Excited to be announcing home away from home's first release for 2025, missgene's debut album, Penpal.

Two tracks are available to stream on Bandcamp, 030.693 44 14 (affectionately known as ‘numbers’) and randomgenes. Swipe for a preview.

Eight tracks of dubby, new-age, neo-classical ambience that joins the dots between late 80’s proto-dance DIY tape music and modern day emo-tech. It’s lush, it’s earnest, and I think it’s a beautiful record. From the album notes:

“At its core, Penpal is a meditation on home—not just as a place, but as a feeling. It captures the bittersweet reality of maintaining bonds across physical and emotional spaces, from the quiet rhythm of exchanging messages like postcards to the long silences between shared moments and the profound resonance of absence in long-distance friendships."

Pre-order on Bandcamp, available on limited run frosted white cassette and digital download. @_missgene has also made a small run of 3 x prints (edition of 15).

objet personnel w/ missgene
//016 pine cone

@_missgene carefully guides us on this really intimate feeling one hour sonic journey: 
„My object is a tiny fully formed pine cone.
Each autumn when the weather starts to get colder I try to go out for a walk to find a tiny pine cone.
The small achievement of collecting a little piece of the outside world has a ritualistic effect of warding off the seasonal blues, at least that is the goal.
Rumination in the shadowy cold months can lean towards depression or inspiration depending n the day and this hour of audio attempts to collage experiences of early winter days, losing daylight hours to monotonous work, creating warmth and sanctuary and the still ambience of misty mornings.“

Still feeling the warmth from our ambient listening party for Penpal by @_missgene . Huge thanks to everyone who came, laid back, and let the soundscapes take over. Your presence made the night feel like a shared dream.

A special thank you to Missgene for creating such a beautiful sonic world, and to @dallas_herrett and @itsgeeeeeee for their mesmerizing supporting acts. The space felt alive with textures of sound, soft glows, and collective stillness.

Grateful for moments like these - intimate, immersive, and effortlessly flowing. Until next time.

Beneath its shifting textures, Penpal meditates on home — not just as a place, but as a feeling shaped by distance, memory, and the quiet ritual of exchanged messages. Across eight tracks, it blends the introspective melancholy of nu-new age emo ambient with the hazy, dubbed-out pulse of late-’80s DIY proto-dance. Grand piano voice memos stretch into infinity, intertwined with FM synths and fractured drum machine rhythms that echo the weightless, post-techno energy of Barker — like a half-erased late-night broadcast on worn VHS.

Penpal digital and cassette available on Bandcamp

Penpal is out today 💌

Thank you so much to everyone who's listened, pre-ordered, or sent a nice message about the record. Tapes and prints will be shipping next week!

Speaking of, the tapes and prints look so good. It's kinda hard to get a good pic of the silver matte metallic print but trust me it looks great irl (thanks to my hand model @emma.j0nes_). Prints come in a set of three (one of each) and we have 7 of 15 left on Bandcamp. Handmade/hand packaged by Maxi.

Also Bandcamp heard that the album was coming out today and decided they'd bring back Bandcamp Friday, which they didn't have to do just for us but whatever.

As always, listen via link in bio 🌐

Another preview from @_missgene's album Penpal, live now on bandcamp (see links in the @hafh.online bio).

Maybe the most introspective moment on the album, all delayed and phase shifted pianos in pseudo-canon. Ambiguous field recordings punctuate the liminal space (are you having the conversation, or just listening in?).
