Founded on seven years of friendship through times thick and thin and a shared obsession with exploring the fuzziest, far-out corners of 90’s guitar music, Leeds-based sextet Van Houten released their debut album via groundbreaking new label imprint Clue / EMI North on March 22nd 2024. The Tallest Room distills the band’s choicest lo-fi, shoegaze and garage rock inspirations into eight eagerly-awaited tracks of dreamy pop perfection.
It is worth the wait, having enlisted the ears and ideas of producer Alex Greaves (bdrmm, Working Men’s Club, Bloc Party), the album is a captivating melting pot of eclectic influences, conflicting emotions and earworm hooks that celebrates the journey the band have been on and looks forward to the future with optimism, whatever it may hold. Van Houten have matured into something truly unique, melding a 90’s alternative sound and aesthetic with true pop sensibility. Touching on a variety of sounds from lo-fi indie, psych rock, shoegaze and garage rock, Van Houten have reinvented themselves with a strong and defined identity that will mark as a turning point in their careers.
Within ‘The Tallest Room’, lies an honesty & vulnerability that we can all find solace in as Louis Sadler, discloses “our debut feels like the first real milestone in our musical journey. For us, this record represents a new beginning for us as a band and also me personally. Over the past couple of years while we’ve been writing I’ve gone through some massive changes that have really sculpted my outlook and it’s naturally bled into our music… It’s about gaining perspective, moving forwards and while it acknowledges darker experiences & feelings, it’s ultimately about moving on.“
Building on the success of their widely-celebrated debut, Van Houten are set to release an Expanded Edition on October 10th 2024, featuring four additional tracks. Alternative versions of ‘Black and White’, ‘Only Wanna Be With You’ and ‘Panoramic View’ reflect the band’s contemplative state post album which leans into delicate introspection through stripped back arrangements complemented with strings. A new composition “See the Sun” rounds off the project as Van Houten ruminate on their undoubtedly promising future.
