    This may be Prinz and Horn's most minimalist music yet, but it's also some of their most rewarding.

    If their third album is perhaps not quite as austere as previous offerings like 2012's Clay Class, it;s still like sticking a quarter-inch jack into a George Foreman grill. [Jul 2015, p.81]

    Relatively speaking Home Economics finds a much warmer and more colourful band at work. [Jul 2015, p.112]
  4. At six tracks it’s a slight but solid return.

    At its best Home Economics tries to find some kind of ascension from this harshness of life. At other moments what is being said, what is got at is lost, and easily passed by unnoticed.

    Rather than feeling stark and severe, there’s an elegant grace in the simplicity. It makes a listener lean in to find an unexpectedly warm embrace.

    Such restraint should give way to immediate rewards, but gems like the colorful "Reign" and cleverly disheveled "Haggle" are all too often negated by the tedium of tracks like "Clean."
