“Make It Home,” the electronica-drenched lead track from thenewno2’s forthcoming full-length thefearofmissingout, finds George Harrison’s son doing things both expected and completely, very-neatly unexpected.

Of course, Dhani Harrison possesses a voice with all of the longing and peaceable bliss of his father, but his vision for this music moves well beyond the Beatle-y stoicism of old. Dig past the lyrics — I mean, sure, “Make It Home” makes quick passes at a familiar kind of psychedelic nutopia — and there is a boisterous, very modern soundscape beneath, punctuated by axle-busting bass, squelchy programming and shiver-inducing piano counterpoints.

Yet, somehow, amid all of that cacophony, the sonic texturing, the scronks and synth splashes, “Make It Home” remains utterly tuneful, inviting — like, come to think it, getting back home after a long night in a smokey, loud place.
