Within an oversaturated musical landscape, Hampshire-based art rock band Burning House have carved themselves a distinctive sound – informed by dense sonics and melancholic ambiguity in a confrontational haze that has not yet wavered.
Founded by songwriter, guitarist and frontman Aaron Mills, and backed by the formidable rhythm section of Ash Babb and Patrick White, the trio once firmly-rooted in shoegaze rhetoric have now retooled, venturing into euphoric jams, and baroque-influenced pastures.
Since the release of debut album ‘Anthropocene’ in 2019, Burning House have furnished the listener with a meticulously layered, embellished sound that owes as much to genre-cohorts Mercury rev and My Bloody Valentine, as it does to cinematic auteurs Andrei Tarkovsky and Stanley Kubrick, while their reputation as a live band has earned them spots supporting the likes of bands as disparate as Wire, British Sea Power and Shonen Knife.
Burning House will be releasing their upcoming album ‘See-Through’, the successor to 2019 debut double LP Anthropocene, later in 2022.
