New Jersey-based, indie alternative artist BIKE ROUTES, the alter ego of multi-instrumentalist David Osterhout, recently announced the June 26 release of his third album PRAIRIE via Blue Grape Music. Pre-order it here.

Today, they are "Homeward Bound" with their new video, directed by Britain Weyant. Watch it here.

The song and video remind you that sometimes, no matter where you are, there's really no place like home.

"It's about chasing the comfort of home, or a home base," Osterhout says. "If you're out on the road especially, no matter how it feels to perform and live out your dream, it can often feel isolating."

Prairie follows the Rush of Energy EP, which was Bike Routes' Blue Grape debut and yielded the Top 20 Alternative Radio hit "World Apart."
