Music News - Home Brew Release Part One of Documentary 'Run It Back'
07 December 2023 - 0 Comments
The first chapter of the story surrounding Home Brew, one of Aotearoa's most enigmatic and fabled hip-hop groups, has dropped ahead of their long-awaited sophomore album release on Friday 8 Dec, 2023. The documentary, Run It Back, revisits the roots of Home Brew's meteoric rise, from humble beginnings to becoming a driving force in the music industry and traces the evolution of their sound, style, and influence over the past 11 years.
This introspective film, as Home Brew's Tom Scott explains, comes at a time when the group is finally ready to share their journey. Scott notes, "We had enough years go by to be able to see it all from a bird's eye view. So it kinda just felt right. That whole, you gotta look back to move forward cliche.”
Reflecting on the significance of the documentary at this time, Scott adds, "The first part of the doco is vital to telling the story of the album. The reunion wouldn’t mean as much without the break up, you know. It’s like a good romcom."
Director Andy Day, whose life has intricately woven with Scott’s for years, shares, "We first met in the early days of Home Brew, moved to Melbourne at the same time, lived streets apart, had children in similar timeframes, moved home to Auckland at the same time, and both lived in Avondale for years upon return.”
This, coupled with a shared passion for basketball, led to collaborations between Day and Scott, resulting in a substantial catalogue of projects, both released and unreleased, including the notable Live at Glen Eden Bowls Club.
Reflecting on the collaborative partnership, Day expresses, "Tom Scott is one of the most profound thinkers I’ve ever had the pleasure of spending time with. Never a dull moment. So when Tom & Haz asked me to produce and direct this documentary through Studio Butter, it felt completely natural, and I jumped at the opportunity.”
Run It Back – Part Two will leave the retrospective world behind and jump to the current day where they delve into the creation of the new album. It explores Tom’s creative process, the cyclical nature of a Home Brew album, life with kids, legacy, brotherhood and meritocracy within art.
