This House Transforms in Size on “Burned House” – Everything Is Noise
second one they’ve worked on together. The album, set to release on March 20 through Pink Cotton Candy, Ramble, and Red Wig, features drummer Søren Høi and synthesist Kristian Tangvik. Today, we are thrilled to present the video single “Burned House” from the upcoming album, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in This House’s unique experimental post-punk realm.
Having followed G.W. Sok’s remarkable lyrical work for years in various projects like Oiseaux-Tempête and Sopa Boba, I’ve always been captivated by his spoken vocal delivery. His commanding yet soothing voice is a delight to my ears, and his contributions to This House are no exception. “Burned House” showcases the talents of each musician involved, creating a distinct sonic landscape while Sok narrates a story of a woman’s final moments in her burning home, captured in a cathartic, psychedelic state.
The music video for the song, directed by Ignacio Córdoba, mirrors the surreal narrative through a blend of bucolic settings, nostalgic visuals, lo-fi aesthetics, and dry humor. The imagery of a model house opening up to reveal the band members performing inside, conjuring the fire through their music, perfectly complements the intensity described in the lyrics.
The track itself takes listeners on a journey through shifting rhythms, dissonant melodies, and a cathartic, noisy conclusion. The musicians’ willingness to push boundaries and embrace their unique visions creates a visceral listening experience that defies expectations. Each artist involved in This House has carved a distinct path within the avant-garde scene, making their collaboration a compelling experiment worth exploring.
With “Burned House” and previously released singles teasing what’s to come, Soft Rains Will Come promises to be an intriguing record that demands further exploration. This House’s blend of experimental rock elements and post-punk sensibilities sets the stage for an album that pushes creative boundaries and challenges musical conventions.
As we eagerly anticipate the release of Soft Rains Will Come on March 20, listeners are encouraged to engage with This House on social media and pre-order the album to experience the full sonic journey that awaits. With a lineup of talented musicians and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of experimental music, This House is a project worth keeping an eye on in the ever-evolving landscape of avant-garde music.
