Disciples

Model Home is a dynamic duo hailing from Washington, D.C. Consisting of Nappy Nappa on vocals and p cain on electronics, they effortlessly blend the meticulousness of studio production with the raw energy of their live performances. Their music is an amalgamation of freewheeling improvisation and expressive experimentation.
With an impressive discography that includes 19 Bandcamp-only transmissions, a compilation album, one full-length LP, and several mixtapes, Model Home's sonic journal offers unfiltered and immediate glimpses into their artistic journey. Each track is a single-take gonzo mind-meld that showcases their unique approach to communication through sound.
Influenced by artists such as Wolf Eyes, NAPPYNAPPA, Saint Abdullah, Shit And Shine, Holy Tongue, and many others from diverse genres like experimental electronic music and avant-garde hip-hop - Model Home has carved out their own distinct sonic territory. Their catalog continues to expand as they push boundaries and challenge conventions in pursuit of artistic expression.

Otherworldly beat science from the currently vibrant Washington DC underground. The heavily processed MCing of NappyNappa weaves in and out of the skewed electronics and stuttering percussion of Patrick Cain. Loosely affiliated with the Future Times crew and featuring contributions from Dolo Percussion (aka Max D).

In the duo’s own words “a collaborative experiment in liberated sound, vision, and performance,” Model Home orbit in their own universe, with glimmers of light from distant galaxies refracted in their sound.

Some moments are reminiscent of DJ Screw, MF Doom or a mangled dub sound system cassette that’s been left in the sun for too long, the grainy collage backing tracks closer to the sick Midwest drones of Aaron Dilloway than any modern beatmakers but this is implicitly its own thing. The spirit of free improvisation pervades the tracks, a sound evolving from two artistic sensibilities bouncing off each other without a set plan and creating a third pathway to unknown worlds.

One Year compiles tracks from 8 different self-released mixtapes made during an intense initial 12 month period of musical activity that birthed the project. Approached with the same archival sensibility that Disciples has brought to albums-that-never-were from Black Lodge, Bogdan Raczynski and His Name As Alive but with the idea of creating a framework to present an underground NOW sound. A Jamaican-style ‘showcase’ album for these outliers from the District of Columbia. Although without sonic precedent it somehow makes a kind of perverse sense that these sounds have emerged from the same place that birthed Dischord Records and Trouble Funk.

LP in reverse board sleeve with full colour printed inner sleeve and digital download card.
