NEW MUSIC MONDAYS
HOME VIDEO - Every Love That Ever Was
I first heard Home Video towards the end of 2008. At that point the band had been around for nearly 6 years, had a few EPs released on Warp Records and a full length on Defend Music. Despite calling Brooklyn home and having an impressive back catalog, I’d never heard of them, and the only person I knew who had was my girlfriend, the person that introduced them to me. While their anonymity is a mystery to me, I decided to do my part to spread the gospel when I saw they released a new EP, It Will Be OK, in early 2009.
Tracks like, “Every Love That Ever Was” and “I Can Make You Feel It,” are simultaneously melancholy and triumphant. Full of looping synths, twinkling arpeggios, lush melodies, and subdued vocals, Home Video creates not so much songs, but rather soundtracks to the moments in life that you remember forever.
Home Video is the project of Louisiana transplants Collin Ruffino and David Gross, who develop their dark, dense, moody creations with the help of their touring drummer, Jim Orso . The group has supported acts as diverse as Blonde Redhead, Justice, Pinback, and Flying Lotus, and are currently working on a new album.
For fans of Radiohead and Massive Attack.
