New-Wave / Shoegaze from Illinois, US. The House Flies debuts with ‘Glimmer EP’, a charming and dreamy four-track EP influenced by the likes of Joy Division, Christian Death, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus. Although the moniker The House Flies makes its first appearance only this week, the band is a side project of grunge metal act Murnau, in particular of Alex Riggen, the sole hero behind the music, performing on vocals, guitars, and keys.
Overall, ‘Glimmer EP’ is a post-punk-inspired collection of songs, with the lead track ‘Sequin’ being a reworking of a song written by Alex nearly 20 years ago. A worthy listen, we hope to hear more from The House Flies!
