The Place I Call My Home (feat. Mark Rae)

A 4 track film soundtracks single (13m 41s) — released January 17th 2025 on Mark's Music

Mark is back, four years after his last release, The Caterpillar Club, his new project, New Town Ghosts, sees the continuation of the novel with a soundtrack concept. This time the book is accompanied with 10 songs, featuring lyrics that represent the narrative journey of the book. Over 40 musicians contributed to the project which was recorded live over a period of three years. Live horns, strings, a choir and a four part harmony structure sees the summer of 1976 jump back to life through the eyes of young boys who desperately want to get a skateboard but end up falling deep into the bowels of the earth. The songs are designed to feel like the music that played on portable radios in garages and gardens during a summer that was once regarded as the hottest on record. Reservoirs run dry and swarms of ladybirds gather round the cracks in the ground. Will they get out alive? Think Kes meets Stand By Me. Get ready for and exciting ride!
