Chicago’s This House is Creaking (THiC) are back with a new single, and honestly, it might be one of their best yet. It’s called There’s A Stench in the Air, and we’re telling you now — keep your eyes peeled, because there’s more on the horizon from these guys. That’s all we can say for now. 😉
Strangeness spirals off of their music in the best way, and this single has all of THiC’s funny, jagged, guitar-laden edges that we’ve come to love — until the hooky chorus opens up like a sunlit clearing, a melody that flat-out proves these folks can write a pop song when they want to. It’s warm, it’s buzzing, and it feels like a band stretching their legs in a new direction without losing a single step of the path they’ve carved out for themselves.
The band kicked off 2026 in style — opening for DIIV and landing on Alternative Press‘s list of the most exciting rising artists to watch. Safe to say the momentum is real and it’s only getting started.
There’s A Stench in the Air is out now. Give it a spin and let us know if it hits — we have a feeling it will.
