Come In (stylized as Come in) is the debut album by Swedish musician Sputnik, released under the moniker Weatherday.
Background and recording[edit]
Weatherday is the solo project of the semi-anonymous[1] Swedish musician Sputnik.[2] Prior to releasing Come In, Sputnik created webcomics with the characters Agatha, Oswald, Ines, and Mio, who all make appearances in the album; Mio also appears on the cover art.[2][3] They[b] were also active in music communities hosted on Discord and Reddit.[2]
According to the liner notes on Bandcamp, Sputnik variously recorded the album in their bedroom, a rehearsal space, a cabin in the mountains, a bog, and a city.[4] The music was recorded on GarageBand on an iPhone and the vocals were recorded on a hands-free microphone attached to a pair of headphones.[3][4] Late into the mixing process, Sputnik switched to a desktop application of GarageBand, on which they made major EQ and panning adjustments. They had no previous producing or mixing experience.[3]
Composition[edit]
Come In has been described as emo,[1][5] lo-fi,[2] noise pop,[6][7] and indie rock.[6] The album was heavily influenced by classical music; Sputnik's first instrument was the cello[3] and they stated that they "wanted to base the sound on classical music (classical and romantic eras) and emo with some pop."[8] Although the album's sound has been widely compared to Car Seat Headrest's,[2][9][10] Sputnik stated that the band's work was not a conscious influence on their own.[3] They have listed their influences as including The Brave Little Abacus, Shinsei Kamattechan, and My Chemical Romance,[3] along with visual media such as Ghost in the Shell and Mother.[1]
Release and response[edit]
Come In was released on Porcelain Music in April 2019.[5] The album gained attention on Bandcamp and later on online music communities such as the r/indieheads subreddit and Rate Your Music,[3][8] where it gained a cult following.[1] The album particularly made waves in the emo community; Leor Gelil described it as "an urtext for emo's emerging fifth wave"[5] and Matt Cruz wrote that Sputnik's following and acclaim made them a figurehead in the "cultural and technical zeitgeist of emo".[1] Parannoul said that Come In was the main influence on his album To See the Next Part of the Dream.[11]
In 2021, Topshelf Records reissued the album on vinyl, CD, and cassette.[12] In February 2022, a tribute album titled Porcelain Songs, created by members of the Weatherday fan Discord server, was released.[5]
Critical reception[edit]

Critical reception for the album was positive. Writing for Atwood Magazine, Nick Matthopolous described it as "a fantastic example of allowing multiple artistic directions to weave within and throughout the record without marring the piece as a whole" and praised Sputnik's "broad creative sensibilities".[6] While critical of the recording quality and its influences being obvious at points, Anthony Fantano said that the album was "easily one of the more creative rock records [he'd] heard" that year and praised the album's high energy and emotional heart.[10] Marvin Dotiyal of ACRN Media found the lo-fi quality to be crucial to the album's atmosphere and wrote that "the ambiance buzzes like a fridge waiting to be opened". He also praised its intimacy, stating that it "embraces you dearly with emotional strife but also warmth" and is an "unfiltered, stripped-down reflection of Sputnik themself."[13] Luke Whitaker of The Pacific Index referred to the album as Sputnik's magnum opus and called it a "modern relative classic", saying that it had the potential to reach a similar level of internet success to Twin Fantasy, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and The Glow Pt. 2.[7]
