"Home" belongs to This Is Happening, LCD Soundsystem's 2010 album, and the credits read like a portrait of James Murphy as a one-man band. He wrote the music and the words, sings it, and plays bass, drums, guitar, synthesizer and percussion, right down to the handclaps. Then he produced it and mixed it too.
The only other name in the file is Matthew Cash, adding more synthesizer. So whatever warmth and wobble this thing has, it comes from Murphy stacking parts in the studio until a groove starts to feel like a room full of friends, which is a pretty good trick for a song called "Home".
