Description

Finding Home was released February 2, 2026 in a tour-de-force demonstration of just how much novelty and unexpected flavors of variety audiences can enjoy when listening to music by the inimitable Flumergex.

Here’s the song list, which we have essentially more or less copied and re-used from the band’s website:

1. Keep Dreamin’ – acoustic singer-songwriter folk-pop peppy love song, just a guy and a guitar (and some birds).  The lyrics first appeared in Jesse’s poetry collection, impressions.  This is the song that was recorded in the cabin shown on the album cover, at beautiful Silver Falls State Park in Oregon State.
2. The Only Me – from smooth groove to hardcore industrial rock, this song is a declaration of identity, an anthem for anyone who doesn’t want to feel like just another face in the crowd
3. The Farm – the lyrics to this nostalgic reminiscence were originally published in Jesse’s 2020 poetry collection, impressions.  You would think it should be a country song, since it’s a song about growing up on a farm, and usually you only hear that in straight-up country songs; but instead, this one came out sounding a little more like an uptempo rendition of the Animals belting out “The House of the Rising Sun” with maybe (wannabe) Carlos Santana on the guitar
4. Sunset – a nature-lover’s anthem in celebration of a beautifully scenic evening: a sunset, a mountain, a river, and majestic trees.  Inspired by a camping trip with some neo-Pagan friends, this song’s lyrics also first appeared in impressions.
5. Lately – laid-back slow groove electronica with looped ever-morphing synth sounds and love song lyrics that say, “By the way, I love you.  Have I mentioned that lately?”
6. Where I Belong – then Flumergex kicks the groove into rock gear with some distortion and an assertion of agency.  Don’t let anybody else tell you where you belong, or what kind of person you are, because it’s none of their business, and they might be wrong!  In this crazy modern era, it’s more important than ever to choose for yourself.
7. Old Magic – marveling at the hidden secret powers of an ancient grove of groovy trees.  Like a number of other songs on this album, this song’s lyrics first appeared in impressions.
8. Normal Is Weird – the title says it all!  This song’s lyrics were too weird to be included in impressions, although they were written in the same time period as many of these other songs. Hardcore fans of alt-alternative weirdos Ween will appreciate Jesse’s vocal performance on this tune; but the rest of the world will probably never hear this song: because the algorithm wants you to conform and do as you are told.
9. Lucky Bridge Maybe – the album’s only instrumental, this is really a rather cheerful little ditty, with relaxing ocean waves sound effects in the background, and real birds-in-the-park sounds sampled on a cell phone while Jesse was on a camping trip with his kids at the Oregon Coast.
10. Better & Better – This is probably the best song on the album, which is why we put it last.  We want you to listen to the rest of the songs first, before you get here!  Musically and conceptually, this song is maybe a bit like if Sheryl Crow hooked up with Beck for a one-night stand and had a love child who strangely looked like Gorillaz.  Or something like that.  Maybe.  What I’m saying is, it’s got just a little bit of a country twang buried in there among the electronica-style drum sample loops and synth-pop pads.  Perhaps it’s simplest to say, this is a pop song: an actual honest-to-goodness pop song, from a singer-songwriter who more often writes not-pop songs.  Incidentally, the lovable lyrics to “Better & Better” first appeared in Jesse’s poetry collection, impressions.
