Stream: The House of Love, ‘She Paints Words in Red’ — first new album in 7 years

We’re still two weeks out from the release of She Paints Words In Red — The House of Love’s first new album in seven years — but Cherry Red Records this morning put the full 12-track record up on Soundcloud for all to hear. Check out a stream of the full record, the band’s first since Days Run Away in 2005, below.

The current House of Love lineup features original members Guy Chadwick (vocals, guitar), Terry Bickers (guitar) and Pete Evans (drums), plus new(er) bassist Matt Jury. That lineup recorded and released Days Run Away, and has toured sporadically in the intervening years, playing, most recently, its only 2012 concert at a festival in Poland last summer.

The band will embark on a U.K. tour next month.
