11 February 2022- Local SC band, Homemade Haircuts, released a single today titled, “Jasmine”. This is their first release since the release of their single “Golden” in 2021. “Jasmine” was one of the first songs they finished since the addition of their new drummer, Blake Hunter.
Bob, one of the lead vocalist and guitar players told us that this was the first song they wrote together as a band after making the move to Charleston, SC. He describes it as “trying to capture that summer-y feeling”. He stated that the song describes a longtime friendship that turns romantic and then “fails royally”. He also states, “the song is also about jasmine green tea…lol”.
The song starts off with a short and smooth guitar intro that quickly moves into soft vocals that rise and fall throughout the song. Reminiscent of sweet and salty ocean air- “Jasmine” is the feeling of early summer warmth.
“Jasmine” begs you to ask the question, “Where do we go from here?” A hanging onto a relationship by a thread feeling throughout each verse, Homemade Haircuts has outdone themselves by creating a song that touches on such a sore subject in such an upbeat and fun way. It is a track that you can listen to on repeat and find something new to love about it each time.
This single is a promising preview to what the newly Charleston natives have in store and we look forward to future releases from them. You can stream “Jasmine” on all streaming platforms and you can follow them on Instagram to stay update on new releases and upcoming shows.
