The music duo Houses (Dexter Tortoriello and Megan Messinais) is many things. The songs are contradictions too: a coalesced vibratory stillness which resonates the secret longings of timidity as it finds its strength to reach for everything. The song “Beginnings,” enters your ear like the echo of falling flower petal. Yet, once nestled within your inner ear it does something else too, it dies and it blooms simultaneously. Dexter’s vocals stretch deep roots as fragile as unrequited longing into sun, moon and stars and beyond. This one stays with you long after silence has filled the space of its distant yearning. Although the album ‘A Quiet Darkness‘ via Downtown Records is set for an April 16th release I am hopeful for more soon, real soon. Peace.

 

 
Lyrics:

I watched the house
As it fell right to the ground.
I was away from you.

And I watched the birds
As they fell out from the sky.
Into the hands of decay
I wish there was a way for you.

And I felt your voice
As it carried with the wind.
Like a fire in my ears.
Like the darkness of fear.

And I would bathe in ash
As it rained down from above.
And it would cast me out now
Into the fields of love.

And I watched the birds
As they fell out from the sky.
Into the hands of decay
I wish there was a way for you.

And I felt your voice
As it carried with the wind.
Like a fire in my ears.
Like the darkness of fear.
Like the voice of God.

I’ve visited Miike Snow before. Well, at least their music. You know by now, or least understand my tastes (or maybe not) enough to know I cotton to bands that defy category. So, its no surprise that Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg and Andrew Wyatt, bka Miike Snow, end up upon these vaulted pages once again. And once again I’m singing their praises. The song “Black Tin Box” is a lot of things, but mostly it’s much like a lullaby of sorts with dreamy atmospherics and if a little sinister, story-like quality. I imagine the original story of Little Red-Cap by Die Gebrüder Grimm with “Black Tin Box” playing woefully in the background. The bands latest LP Happy To You is revealing itself to be a curio shoppe of sound and influence, much like the distinct phases of the year. On display is the lovely austerity of  winter, the lush vibrancy of spring, and of course too you have the hectic galloping frenzy of summer, and lastly the cooled tempers of Autumn. All of this woven into, thus far songs for, if not every possible human facet, then a good fistful of them. An album to track the movement of your heart-sun across the horizon of beauteous sound tapestry, how novel and fortuitous for the listener. Peace.
