Home is an experimental pop band formed in Tampa, Florida, in the early 1990s before relocating to New York in 1996, emerging from a DIY cassette culture where the band issued eight self-produced numbered cassettes before signing with Relativity Records and releasing the ninth album IX in 1995 to favorable reviews in Spin and The Village Voice, presenting a cleaner sound with guitars and electronic keyboards that shifted from the lo-fi aesthetic of earlier releases. Subsequent releases on independent labels followed, including Elf: Gulf Bore Waltz (1996) and Sexteen (2006), with Sexteen marking the end of the band’s longstanding relationship with European label Cooking Vinyl; the album Seventeenwas released in 2010 on Brah Records. In 2019 Home released 18 and in 2020 followed with 18 Deuxième Partie, with recordings involving Tim Kearley and Burke Sampson; the 2019 release 18 was the band’s first in nearly a decade. During the COVID-19 pandemic the band produced CVDXIX, an experimental collection created with no pop songs or vocals.
