Leeds psych pop/dream pop/indie band Van Houten have returned with their new single “Coming Of Age” and its accompanying video.
The song, produced by Alex Greaves (bdrmm, Working Men’s Club, Bloc Party) is out now via Clue Records/EMI North, and is their first new material in over two years. Grab it here.
Van Houten’s core is based on life long friendship, an inability to exist without each other, and an obsession with creating a sonic mixing pot of intimate lo-fi rock + cavernous Shoegaze.
The band’s new music sees them find their own, unmistakable sound, something which has been 7 years in the making. They have matured into something truly unique, melding a 90’s alternative sound and aesthetic with true pop sensibility. Touching on a variety of sounds from lo-fi indie, psych rock, shoegaze and garage rock, Van Houten have reinvented themselves with a new strong and defined identity.
