Album Notes

"Home Groan groans...and grows - that fact is strongly confirmed by their latest adventure. "Addicted", the 5th Home Groan CD in as many years, is an aural testament of both Martin Hagfors' unsung songwriting genius and Home Groan's well-honed ability to Groan & Roll like an organic musical plasma, always arriving at the right musical moment when you least expect it. Hagfors' unique turn of phrase weaving it's way through timeless tunes, his voice, wise yet innocent. Most importantly of all, Home Groan's new CD is a declaration of love for The Song. Addicted to The Song. Get Addicted."
