UPC: 0634457199910 "It clicked for me one day, that the album was going to be about hornets," explains Sputnik, the mononymous songwriter behind the noise-pop project Weatherday. "It just made sense to me." Hornet Disaster , Weatherday's follow-up to their 2019 debut Come in , and spiritual successor to 2022's collab release Weatherglow , is their most expansive work to date. In Weatherday's initial bout of inspired writing and recording, they produced over 70 songs for the record, but not before they had a complete, overarching narrative that was coherently tied back to Sputnik's previous work. It's a bustling record with disparate songs each vying for space like wasps in a swarm. It can inspire caution and chaos, but there's wonder, purpose, and a certain familiarity there, too. Weatherday has extended the knotted, thrashing maximalism of Come in by doubling down with the uncompromised, no-stone-unturned nature of Hornet Disaster . Where Come in was the product of an artist searching for their voice, Hornet Disaster represents the joyful abandon that comes from having found it.
