Unfortunately, the album outside these tracks, fails to do much apart from repetition. Honestly though, “Beginnings” and “The Bloom” are two songs you should really hear. It combines every element that the album has conjured up and feels like the tone we were getting at the beginning of the album. Then the final song, it louder in comparison. “The Bloom” is ethereal and it’s thinking music, music to lie in the sun on a grassy hill watching over the horizon it’s music of a different place.
They manage to finish strongly which some bands can struggle to do. The former song, feels like Shoegaze and Dream Pop in one, and amongst the indie vibes on the album, it is those two elements that I like about the band. “The Big Light”, shows the decline in quality after the opening two songs until we get to the last two, “The Bloom” and “A Quiet Darkness” which feels like a two parter. I feel “A Quiet Darkness” can loose itself, it’s an album they takes you away too far, so far that you want to be brought back. They remind me a little like a different shade of Beach House, just not as vibrant maybe, just up there in quality with “Bloom”. “The Beauty Surrounds” is the track that caught my attention to this Los Angeles Indie duet comprised of Dexter Tortoriello and Megan Messina. The album’s opener is powerful and becoming, and like the rest of the album, it is a long song, running just over five minuets, but it doesn’t become bloated. Don’t get me wrong, the opening that consists of “Beginnings”, “The Beauty Surrounds” and “The Big Light” are amazing songs. That’s the album’s problem, once you get past the beauty, the album is superficial. But it’s like that pretty girl you’ve been eyeing for an age, and when you finally talk to her she answers everything with, “Whaaaaatt?”. It is calming and soothing and it lures you in from the beginning. The album is wonderful in its production. Just look to the first three tracks and then, “Carrion” and “Smoke Signals”. A Quiet Darkness Lyrics: Well Heaven rode my back / And the angels dragged my throne / Only yesterday / Only yesterday / I carved out your name / Only yesterday / I built you a shrine / On the side. The combination of male and female vocals on almost all tracks is a real pleaser. Just look to the first three This album, is beautiful. of the darkness Hello Hello Is anyone out there Hello Hello Can anyone save us out of the darkness Who am I Where am I What am I Does the sun still.

The man is trying to find his wife, not so they can survive together, but so they can die together.”Īlthough built up of many samples, most of which were recorded “inside abandoned houses and along the deserted highways and ghost towns of the Mojave Desert”, fans can expect a more explorative and fully formed ‘band’ sound than previous material. The idea is that everyone in the western part of the country has been exposed to a great deal of radiation and is dying off, some more slowly than others. Founder and songwriter Dexter Tortoriello told us last year that it’s very much a record that tells a story: “I had this idea to do a concept album about this guy walking across the country to find his wife after a nuclear disaster occurs. For a man often depicted by the press as a lone wolf, the late Mark Lanegan was unusually collaborative throughout his decades in the music business. The album, due for release through Downtown Records on 16 April marks a huge departure for the group sonically. Having crafted one of the very few ‘classic’ records from the short lived chillwave boom of 2010 with their debut All Night, husband/wife duo Houses announce their return today with a brief but entirely enticing trailer for the follow-up record A Quiet Darkness alongside a stream of new song ‘Beginnings’.
