Houses Of Heaven
Silent Places
Layering synths, guitars, electronic percussion and live drums, Houses Of Heaven fuses early industrial and techno rhythms with the melodicism of shoegaze and a heavy dose of dub influenced effects. Formed in Oakland, California by Keven Tecon, Adam Beck and Nick Ott, the band follows up the 'Remnant' EP with their first full-length album titled 'Silent Places'. Adding density to the album's shadowy allure are the unusual sounds and vintage outboard effects that the band impressively maneuvers into the album's tonal palette. Great care has been taken to finesse familiar pop structures with an inventive edge. It's this mindfulness of past and present that is sure to secure Silent Places as a standout album in this decade. Comes on limited red and black swirl vinyl.
