Home Video - Citizen EP FLAC album

Half electronics and half-rock, Home Video's CITIZEN EP might seem like an odd hybrid, but it certainly makes sense, given Warp Records' widening musical view. The tracks trade off: "Citizen" is more rock than electronics, while "We" is the direct opposite. The vocals have that crooning emo quality, even if they don't entirely rise above a lack of affectation. "In a Submarine" has a certain DFA quality to it; it's almost dancey! And "The Tundra" has a Peter Hook-like bass to punctuate the dark beats -- the track almost sounds like a darker version of New Order. A promising introduction.
