If music is an automatic process, then Brooklyn-based duo Home Video have a
remarkable knack for aesthetics and atmosphere -- two essential
characteristics that never fail to draw me to a record. When first handling
any new album, I tend to appreciate general design, photography, and quality
of the packaging first. Slipping the disc into the player, more than lyrics,
I'm sensitive to the atmosphere of a recording first and foremost. These are
elusive qualities for most artists, certainly not an automatic process, but
Home Video seem to have a firm grasp on what they're trying to express.
The two principles in the band, David Gross and Collin Ruffino, have known
each other since sharing a New Orleans high school art class, which seems a
logical starting point for a band with their aesthetics. The new albumÆs
cover, featuring still photographs of David and Collin submerged in water
fully clothed, opposite gatefold panels of hypnotic spirals, suggests that by
exploring this record further you too will be submerged in a hypnotic state.
Indeed, the music keeps that promise with its layered intensity and ethereal
vocals, at times making strides into territory charted by the likes of
Radiohead and Massive Attack without losing their own identity along the way.

Within our first releases we want to provide you, the outside world, with some
information about us, k4. We are a group composed of music addicts who are not
bounded to any musical genre. In connection with our free spirit we do not
care too much about so-called "scene standards" especially the new proofing
requirements. Nonetheless we want to release our stuff in compliance with the
existing council rules.
If there is a release not fully matching those requirements, we will tag it as
an internal release, e.g. if the music is available for free from web. We hope
you will enjoy another great musical trip with our releases.For any questions
climb up mountain k4. We will wait there for you.
