With an April tour of the U.K. expected to be announced Wednesday, The House of Love is now previewing two tracks off its upcoming sixth album, ‘She Paints Words in Red,’ on the band’s official Facebook page. Currently streaming are 1-minute samples of opening song “A Baby Got Back on its Feet” and the title track.
Reunited Creation Records standout The House of Love will follow up the just-released 3CD reissue of its classic 1988 debut album with a true surprise: a brand-new studio album that is being delivered this week “fully mastered and mixed,” according to the band’s official Facebook page.
The House of Love — largely dormant following a couple years’ worth of activity surrounding ‘Days Run Away,’ the band’s 2005 reunion album — will make what appears to be its first live appearance in more than four years later this summer when the beloved indie act appears at the Off Festival in Katowice, Poland.
