Liner Notes
Homage, released in 2026, is a covers-type work on which TESLA expressed respect for its own roots through unforced, natural hard rock. Rather than viewing it as a mere song collection, the interest of this record lies in hearing how TESLA re-places outside songs into their own timing, voice and guitar tone. Rather than relying on the fame of the originals, the band’s own habits and aesthetics surface in the push of the rhythm, the thickness of the choruses and the way the air is built before and after the solos.
Rather than each song’s origin, listen for the unity that arises within the sequence. Even a project album outside the flow of the signature works, how an artist interprets others’ songs is precisely where its essence and aesthetics show. How a long-careered TESLA offers respect to the songs that influenced it and breathes new life into them — by following not only the main albums but such detours as well, it is a flavorful record for confirming the band’s musical outline more three-dimensionally, with a deep love for roots music running throughout.
