Francesco’s review of The Homeland (2004) hails Bobby Conn & The Glass Gypsies for fusing glam sheen and psychedelia with biting critiques of American society. Tracks like We Come in Peace and Home Sweet Home pair catchy melodies with stark, anti-war, fear-of-modern-life lyrics. A theatrical, witty, and embittered snapshot for fans of glam with a political edge.
