Brute Fact/Home Truth serves as a reflection of trauma, self-doubt, and emotional realities through its diverse sound. Rounak Maiti created this album during severe isolation and disillusionment while facing challenges like changing careers and leaving his label. The music combines various genres, showcasing wall-of-sound guitars and synth-pop elements. Maiti articulates deep emotional patterns, referred to as his "brute facts" and "home truths," and explores personal failings and their complexities through stream-of-consciousness lyrics, creating an immersive listening experience.
Brute Fact/Home Truth, his third full-length, is a self-eviscerating spiral of a record, formed out of trauma, self-doubt, and the sort of bruising truths that rattle around your head long after the lights have gone out.
What Maiti calls his "brute facts" and "home truths" are those foundational emotional patterns and personal failings that resist explanation, let alone resolution.
Maiti's stream-of-consciousness lyrics are like disjointed fragments of conversation and memory plucked from the infinite scroll of a brain stuck in overdrive.
"2x Playback Speed" drapes post-Britpop guitars over hangdog-loser lyricism, delivered in a reverb-drenched croon that sounds like Julian Casablancas channeling Morrissey.
