The third album by the mighty HOUSE Of ALL (entitled ‘HOUSE Of ALL SOULS’) is due out on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025, on Tiny International Productions, preceded by this improbable taster monitor ‘The Good Englishman’.
It’s a gothic horror whereby the great man could be very dangerous. Mentioned Martin Bramah cryptically when requested concerning the tune.
Literate and understanding it’s extra Swiftian prose amidst a musical sea of progressive psychedelia with that Fall-alumni spine and backbeat.
Home of All resolutely refuse to relaxation on their laurels.
The debut album was nice. The second, gorgeous… and the brand new one? These within the know contemplate it the band’s finest effort to this point . . . odder and deeper maybe, however extra beguiling over time. Says the press launch.
Nobody anticipated the arrival of HOUSE Of ALL, comprised completely of former members of The Fall: Martin Bramah, Pete Greenway, Paul Hanley, Stephen Hanley and Simon Wolstencroft. For a lot of, information of their existence was gleaned from a Guardian piece over the ‘scandal’ attributable to Bramah’s (correct) use of the phrase “a Fall household continuum” to explain the band and its work, an article arriving in tandem with announcement of the group’s self-titled debut, which bought effectively and obtained large reward from all corners. A 12 months later, CONTINUUM arrived, an album each bit nearly as good as its predecessor.
HOA’s pledge to be open to different ex-members of The Fall has been maintained with current information of a 3rd drummer, the long-lost Karl Burns, who performs on their forthcoming third album, HOUSE Of ALL SOULS, in addition to guitarist Phil Lewis standing in for Pete on stay dates and including to the brand new album, as effectively.
In line with the group’s ironic darkish impulses, HOUSE Of ALL SOULS might be launched on Valentine’s Day, 2025 . . . exactly a month earlier than the band units off on a sequence of stay dates destined to shock and encourage. It’s simply their finest work, regardless of the very fact of three guitarists and three drummers, the songs are sturdy, majestic and stuffed with awe. In a transfer atypical of your common artist, it’s the epic nearer, Born At Daybreak And Useless At Sundown, that the band has instantly made accessible for streaming on Bandcamp, though you’ll undoubtedly hear way more earlier than the album’s launch. The recording is loaded with future classics, from fast classics The Satan’s Home and Tempest And Storm to the ominous A Creature Got here Slinking and Queen Of The Angel’s rockabilly glam.
Because the world and the nation fall into chaos it’s good to know that we nonetheless have a band to depend on. A bunch who will save all (our) souls.
