Ambient introductions set the mood before artist and songwriter Justin Allen guides listeners into the evocative depths of human contemplation with “The House Of Love,” the brand new album from dream-pop outfit Endless Forms. The album kicks off with the softly breathtaking opener “Into The Swarm.”
Atmospherically immersive and lyrically captivating, Justin’s breathy to passionate vocal delivery adds depth and sincerity to the arena-ready shoe-gaze and dream-wave influences present throughout the album. “The House Of Love” weaves a distinctly raw and honest portrayal of connection, exploring both lasting and broken relationships across its thirteen tracks.
The title track, “The House Of Love,” stands out as a prime example of the album’s colorful, unorthodox, yet comforting traits working in unison. String-like synths and all-consuming soundscapes create an enchanting escapism, counterbalanced by a deeply personal front-line vocal and parallel storytelling.
Several highlights emerge, including the hypnotic rising anticipation of “A Door That Disappears,” the melodically catchy, organic pop-rock tones and pace of “Make Me feel Too Much,” and the grittier yet likable realism of “I Want it All.” “Riding The Red Horse” also proves boldly memorable for its instrumental prowess and build-up—a personal favorite among the tracks.
In each case, “The House Of Love” presents a sublime fusion of musical embrace and poetic wonder. The album seamlessly intertwines a profoundly intimate thread of expression and performance, creating a dream-pop journey that invites listeners into the contemplative and emotionally rich world of Endless Forms.
