REVIEW: Home Video - It Will Be OK

7.25 out of 10

Friends, family, fellow audiophiles I have asked you many times by now.. You NEED to hear Home Video. For those of you that have, you know what I am talking about. Mix Thom Yorke, with Sinner DC, Woven, Colder and maybe a little bit of Deftones .. yeah I know, sounds great doesn't it? This futuristic rock band should in-theory capture your "ear-heart" within first listen.

Today I received a bulletin notice from Home Video telling me of a new EP release. And guess what? IT'S FREE!!! That's right! All you have to do is join their mailing list and they will send you the appropriate link to download "It Will Be Ok". Seriously, why wouldn't you want 4 tracks of ear-gasmic quality FOR FREE?

Track one, "I Can Make You Feel It", moves and relaxes you like your standard HV song would. Great/simple drumbeats, 80's inspired guitar strumming, arrepeggiated synths in the background, and of course Collin Ruffino's amazing vocal talent on top of it all. Track two, "Maybe What You Need", adds a touch of poppy piano to the mix. Track three, "Every Love That Ever Was", has a jumpy bass line, four-count claps, and epic/spacey/almost M83-like synth loops. Track four, "You Will Know What To Do", adds the same poppy piano that track two had with deep/looming synths, four-count kicks, and low end bass sounds.

Come on, just get the album, IT'S FREE! And, it's terrific. You will, in no-doubt, play this over and over again if you like your rock/pop with an electronic twist. Please, if this will be your first Home Video album and you like it, check out the rest. After getting this today, I had to immediately go back and listen to the rest of their work. THANX Home Video!
