Depeche Mode. New Order. Radiohead.

Born in Berlin, raised in Australia & living all round, House of Light croon amidst a cinematic shoegazy mesh of synth and guitars. In an interview with Andy Rourke of the Smiths, they described themselves as “evoking the romanticism of the 80s & the darker turn of the 90s.” HoL comes from the same places that inspired post-punk bands like the Cure, Joy Division, Killing Joke & the Church & been booked with the likes of Lydia Lunch, Pete Doherty, the Drones on their regular tours round the globe. Their next album "21st Century Prayer" sees HoL traversing from dark & danceable to dreamy terrain & epic laments with implosive poetry evoking innocence lost in the face of the modern tech tsunami.
