Bay Area three piece, Houses of Heaven, have shared their new single Almost Hidden, which is lifted from their EP ‘Remnant,’ due out on May 19 via felte. Pre-order the EP on vinyl or digitally at felte’s online store. Take a listen to Almost Hidden via Soundcloud below.
‘Remnant’ is a bleak, dub-influenced production, mixing elements of electronic music, Krautrock, and psychedelia, with nods to the the extreme sonic treatments of Adrian Sherwood. Produced by Monte Vallier (Wax Idols, Soft Moon, Weekend), ‘Remnant’ blends shifting textures of drum machines, live percussion, ambient guitar, vintage delays and custom engineered effects.
Black Waves opens with hypnotic percussion, Beck’s abstract rhythm guitar, and stark, angular basslines from former Soft Moon bassist Justin Anastasi, who makes a guest appearance on the EP. Almost Hidden follows with an effected wash of guitar and pulsing electronic drums. Remain is a dense, reverb-laden drone of guitar and synth bass. The EP closes with Subfloor, featuring Ott’s heavy toms, Tecon’s evocative reversed vocals, and Beck’s seraphic guitar.
