Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary 1988 self-titled debut from British indie rock band The House of Love remains a cornerstone of the late-80s alternative scene. Originally released on Creation Records, the album is a masterful, atmospheric collision of shimmering jangle pop guitars, dreamy textures, and infectious noise pop melodies.
