Enter the haunting world of House of Light with their latest release, "Cold."

Hailing from Berlin, House of Light has a rich musical history, having recorded their first album with acclaimed producers Gordon Raphael and Clif Norell, known for their work with artists like NIN, REM, and Jeff Buckley.

House of Light's lyrics are deeply oriented, reflecting a post-romantic sensibility that echoes the optimism of the 80s and the melancholy of the 90s. With their upcoming third album, "Dysphoria," on the horizon, the band continues to explore the complex emotional landscapes through their music.
During their USA tour, House of Light caught the attention of music legends like Frank Black of the Pixies, which led to an invitation to collaborate with Cleopatra Records, marking their ascent onto the LA music scene. They've also shared the stage with notable acts such as Lydia Lunch and Pete Doherty and have been interviewed by none other than Andy Rourke of the Smiths.
In "Cold," House of Light has crafted a piece that's not just music but an immersive experience. It's a testament to their ability to blend historical themes with dark, emotive sounds, creating a unique and captivating sonic journey for their listeners.
