Minneapolis natives Household are thrilled to share their brand new video, ‘Dark Matter,’. ‘Dark Matter’ comes from the band’s latest album, “Everything A River Should Be,” which has recently been featured on Substream Magazine and Alternative Press. Everything A River Should Be is available now via Equal Vision Records at household.merchnow.com. The video can be watched below.
On ‘Dark Matter,’ vocalist Joshua Gilbert shares: “‘Dark Matter’ is a nod to our older sound. With a generally slower and more melancholic album, it was fun writing a faster track. This song captures relationship at its worst, the extremes or negative energy causing havoc.”
“Everything A River Should Be” is a record that redefines who and what – and even why – the Minneapolis trio are. Anybody familiar with the music the band – vocalist and bassist Joshua Gilbert, drummer Matthew Anthony, and guitarist Nathanael Olsen – made before will immediately hear the shift in sound of these 11 songs. While the urgency and sincerity of the raw and visceral post-hardcore they began life making remains, Everything A River Should Be is a collection of dense, dark and brooding songs full of a tense, glowering atmosphere.
Lyrically, too, the album – which was recorded over the course of a month by Nate Washburn at Atlanta’s Glow In The Dark studios – marks a change in approach. Not only is this the first time the band have really had any production on a recording, but Gilbert says he has never written from the heart so much or presented so much of himself – and his emotions and fears and insecurities – within his songs.
“The songs touch on some close-to-home feelings for me,” he says. “It’s much more of a personal expression of my own emotions – it’s not so much a declarative thing, as some of our music has been in the past. It’s more personal and vulnerable in a lot of ways.”
The band is on tour now with Senses Fail, Reggie & The Full Effect, and Have Mercy.
