Review: Hame channels plenty of chasing personal circumstances and the 'tumultuous journey' of life in this new album Almost Home. It's inspired by the idea of 'filling the room with heartfelt sounds' and sure does that. Standout opener 'Tears' actual features the real sound of someone sobbing which has then been used as a rhythmic element that adds a very real emotional touch. Other deft deep house cuts include 'Unexpected Night' with its rolling drums and zoned-out pads, the jostling broken beats of 'Sand' and the tender piano interlude of 'Little Lonely Moment' which brings a great sense of vulnerability.
