CRITIC REVIEWS

85
Beats Per Minute

The record is patient and delicate, but Chung remains a constant if not aggressive presence within every track, imbuing each with immaculate detail. 

78
Pitchfork

Home is an ace of a second album, one which maintains the most important elements of Chung's painstakingly crafted sound while progressing nicely into a friendlier arena.

70
Drowned in Sound

With Home, that stirred heart still beats, albeit with an occasionally unwelcome arrythmia.

70
No Ripcord

The record is nothing new, but he somehow manages to make it all his own. That’s something special and something that can’t be ignored.

70
The 405

Despite the beauty of the overwhelming wash of Home, there lacks the feeling of the whole transcending its impressive cogs, and there is little for the listener to clutch onto as they emerge from the surface.

67
Pretty Much Amazing

It’s bizarre, and at times beautiful, but overall it leaves a longing for some direction, some movement in this exploration of the abyss.

60
PopMatters

It all comprises a somewhat short but very enjoyable collection of electronic music. These songs work together as a complete experience

FACT Magazine

Nosaj Thing’s sound is still full of interesting details, but these are now lacking attention as he makes a possibly-conscious shift from ‘beat producer’ to ‘electronic song writer’.

It's really nice. Not near his best work for me, but it still has a great selection of tunes I heavily enjoy.

Better articulated, it pushes small, electronic shapes to the air and watches their elegant dance.
