Van Houten

The Tallest Room

£24.99

Released: 29th March 2024. Van Houten emerge from the burgeoning alternative indie landscape of Leeds to continue the city's rich recent tradition of incredible guitar bands. Crafting their own blend of lo-fi indie, psych rock, shoegaze and garage rock, they've pitted a distinct '90s alternative sound against true pop sensibilities. 'The Tallest Room' is the band's debut album. Lead single 'Coming Of Age' cloaked lyrical depth and self-reflection in a stunningly hooky pop song leading to hype building around the release from BBC 6Music, So Young, Wonderland and more. Those with a taste for Deerhunter, DIIV or Yuck will not be disappointed, and in turn will be treated to an unmistakable Yorkshire edge. 'The Tallest Room' is a cavernous shoegaze affair, filled with woozy psych, sincere storytelling and a bag full of earworms.
