Intro

Home Video sounds like the intersection of a rainy Brooklyn street and a high-concept art gallery. Their music is built on a foundation of sophisticated electronic pulses and breathy, intimate vocals that feel like they are being whispered directly into your ear. There is a distinct sense of 'chiaroscuro' here; the songs play with light and shadow, using warm analog synths to illuminate dark, skeletal rhythmic structures.

What truly sets them apart is the friction between their two halves. You can hear the classical training in the precise, often haunting piano motifs, but it is constantly being disrupted by the grit of 90s alternative rock influences and the atmospheric weight of trip-hop. It is music that feels both highly composed and deeply vulnerable, capturing a specific kind of modern isolation that is beautiful rather than bleak.

Start with the album 'No Certain Night or Morning' to hear their signature blend of organic and synthetic textures. It perfectly encapsulates their ability to turn a simple electronic beat into a cinematic, emotionally resonant experience. It is the ideal soundtrack for those hours of the night where the rest of the world feels like it has been put on pause.

Home Video is an American electronic rock duo from Brooklyn, New York, composed of David Gross (keyboard/bass/sequencer) and Collin Ruffino (vocals/guitar).
