The Homesick
About
The Homesick are a post-punk trio from Dokkum, in the north of the Netherlands, formed in 2012 by Elias Elgersma, Jaap van der Velde and Erik Woudwijk. Each of their albums marks a deliberate stylistic shift - from the baroque post-punk of Sub Pop debut The Big Exercise (2020) to the synth-driven self-titled record of 2023. Drawing on Yellow Magic Orchestra, XTC and Scott Walker, they have built a reputation as one of the Netherlands' most restlessly inventive alternative acts.
