The siblings and production team of Tiefschwarz recently unveiled Chocolate, another record full of the club-friendly, melodic house music the duo is known for. (Want proof? Check out the streaming preview we posted a couple weeks ago.) “Home” is a surprise, though, if only because its pop sensibilities are laid so bare: Daniel Wilde’s croons are placed front-and-center, intoning over sleek, mid-tempo synthetic house that recalls recent efforts from fellow countrymen Booka Shade. Though little squigglings and samples come in here and there, the track moves along in this way for its entirety, perhaps suggesting that the Schwarz brothers are moving towards a more rounded, ‘pop’ sound? Maybe we’ll find out on More Chocolate, a follow-up record to be released later this month.
