Production

In April 2001, Millencolin were reportedly writing and rehearsing new material in their hometown Örebro, Sweden, in anticipation of recording their next album with Mark Trombino. [3] Home from Home was instead recorded with producer Lou Giordano at Little Big Room Studios in Haninge, Sweden between 15 September and 17 October 2001. [4] [5] [6] Giordano also acted as engineer, with assistance from Mats Lindfors, Fredrik Andersson, and Ernie. Giordano mixed the recordings over the course of two weeks, before they were mastered by Peter In de Betou at Cutting Room. [5] [6]

Release

On 5 December 2001, Home from Home was announced for released in early 2002. [7] Six days later, the album's track listing was revealed. [8] "Man or Mouse" was posted on the band's website on 4 January 2002. [9] "Kemp" was released as a single on 23 January 2001. [10] On 2 February 2001, "Fingers Crossed" was made available for download after playing a game on the band's website. [11] In February and March 2002, the band toured across Australia and New Zealand. [12] On 7 March 2002, the music video for "Kemp" was posted online; it was animated by Kalle Haglund, the former vocalist of Voice of a Generation. [10] [13] Home from Home was released on 11 March 2002 in Europe through Burning Heart, and the following day in the US through Epitaph. [7] While on tour in the US, drummer Fredrik Larzon injured his elbow, which required him to fly back to Sweden for surgery; he was temporarily replaced by Thomas Falk of Bombshell Rocks. [14]

In April and May 2002, the band toured across Europe with the Donots and Anti-Flag. [15] Their substitute drummer Kjell Ramstedt of No Fun at All became ill, resulting in the cancellation a show; the show prior to that, Ramstedt had fainted, which caused the band's set to be shorted. Larzon's injury had healed, with him returning to the band in time for an appearance at Ozzfest. [16] Millencolin was due tour the UK in December, with Brand New; however, the tour was cancelled. [17] [18] In April and May 2003, the group embarked on a west coast and then east coast treks of the US. The former was supported by Rufio and River City High (who left partway through the tour and were replaced by Ten Foot Pole), while the latter was planned to be supported by American Hi-Fi and the Unseen. [19] [20] Prior to the start of the east coast leg, the tour was cancelled due to family issues. [21] It was revealed shortly afterwards that the cancellation was a result of frontman Nikola Šarčević's brother having gone missing. [22] The band subsequently rescheduled the east coast shows to November 2003, which were supported by Senses Fail; Wakefield was also due to support, but because of recording conflicts they were replaced by Matchbook Romance.
