Legs 11 was formed when Sigmund Floyd, of Palace of Pleasure fame, joined forces with Torstein Dyrnes from the now defunct Playstation duo Tøyen, and mysterious bedroom musician Nils Tveten. During a karaoke-fuelled haze in the seedy parts of Oslo, they discovered a shared love of synth-pop, post-punk, new wave, and house music. Drawing on these influences, the band has created a diverse musical universe, ranging from dark repetitive guitar-driven tracks, via infectious pop gems, to deep yet melodic dancefloor-orientated grooves. In 2017 they were joined by multi-instrumentalist Audun Severin Eftevåg, providing the final piece of the Legs 11 puzzle.
"This Is Your Home" is a choice banger provided to the Beatservice label, laying out the quartet's floor-happy basement groove. It's gritty and real, featuring a steady kick drum bop and the right amount of deep house swing. Cool post-punk style vocals statements ride on top as staccato pads and pulsing bass movements drive the motion. The real treat comes in the last third as an effected saxophone motif dramatically introduces a snaking melody, sending the cut into the late-night bliss zone.
