This House is the full band version of music the had its roots in the collaboration between former The Ex frontman G.W. Sok and Ignacio Córdoba. Joined by drummer Søren Høj and synthesist Kristian Tangvik the full-fledged group will release its debut album Soft Rains Will Come on March 20, 2026 on vinyl, digital download and streaming via Pink Cotton Candy Records. The lead single “Burned House” pulses with nervous tension and clipped guitar keeping time with guitar in the beginning with Sok vocalizing about a modern set of anxieties and dread with the symbol of the burned house standing in for the unraveling of our current civilization while so many insist that things are just slightly uncomfortable like the frog in cooking pot with the heat on low and increasing. The guitars get more intense, distorted, menacing and fragmented, raw noise enters the field of sound, the rhythms are steady but splayed ever so slightly and Sok’s vocals break up a little too while flames appear on the screen to obscure the musicians. It’s a perfect depiction of the state of the world, one which is already in shambles and accelerating into the point of return but we’re all encouraged to dissociate while the world burns even more except so many people can’t ignore it and many more don’t have the luxury to pretend otherwise. Indubitably a song for today. Watch the video for “Burned House” on YouTube and follow This House on Instagram.
