Press Release :
Ninja Tune and Manchester's Homelife have combined to bring you the ultimate in domestic music listening. Because Homelife's "Home Broadcaster" EP is only available as a download direct to your PC. Not your work PC, mind (though it will, so to speak, work). No no. Your home PC. Keep your pyjamas on. Make a cup of tea. Dance around the kitchen. Do some mushrooms. Do the hoovering. Examine your carpet for hallucination-inducing patterning.

Homelife have remixed Beck, been described as "wonky, wonderful" by The Guardian, "hugely inventive" by the Daily Express and "sloppy but sweet" by The Face. But then look where that got The Face.
Two instrumental tracks on the outside with two vocal tracks in the middle, the "Home Broadcaster" EP is like a well built house, so fully equipped that you'll never want to leave.
