The Worcester, Massachusetts, emotive rock band the Hotelier’s sophomore record, Home, Like Noplace Is There, burns with a five-alarm intensity. If there isn’t an intervention or a 3 a.m. phone call that must be answered, a funeral is likely to follow. These emergencies are related with rousing group chants, call-and-response hooks, and collegiate jangle.
