The new track is from their bold and expansive second LP Lions and Ore
With the release of their new sophomore album Lions and Ore, Illinois alternative outfit The House Flies have built upon their sound and managed to double down on everything that has made them feel memorable and exciting, the riffs feel heavier, the ambient sections feels more fleshed out, and on the whole things just feel a lot more realised and impactful throughout.
A track that does a great job of highlighting some of the more melodic facets of their sound is the ‘Lost Literature’, a track that holds onto their signature darkness but chooses to convey it through atmosphere rather than heaviness in what makes for a really interesting track that leaves a real impression on you as a listener. While there are moments on the album that look to dominate you with their heaviness, this track goes for a more nuanced approach while still getting under your skin with its bleak undertones and unsettling vibes. The track serves as an interesting piece of a bigger picture painted on the album, and offers a brooding counterpart to some of its heavier and more weighty moments.
