Home (Josh Rouse album)

Home is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Josh Rouse. It was released on March 20, 2006, on Rykodisc. The album marks a departure from Rouse's earlier indie-pop sound, embracing a more polished and mature pop sensibility with elements of 1970s soft rock and AM radio.

The album was recorded in Spain, where Rouse had relocated, and features collaborations with Spanish musicians. Lyrically, Home explores themes of displacement, identity, and the search for belonging. The songs often reflect Rouse's personal experiences of moving and adapting to a new culture.

Several singles were released from Home, including "Winter in the Hamptons" and "It's the Night." The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Rouse's songwriting and the album's sophisticated production. It is considered a significant work in Rouse's discography and a key example of his stylistic evolution.
