│release notes.
"Wow" is the first word that you may find yourself saying at about
the six-and-a-half minute mark of House of House's "Rushing to
Paradise (Walkin' These Streets)." The duo of Saheer Umar (Afrika
Islam's nephew) and Olivier "Liv" Spencer (Still Going, DFA)
probably wouldn't have it any other way. Unabashedly dramatic, the
track is almost ridiculous in its attempt to make you feel. This
deep house epic is in the grand tradition of Ernestus & Von
Oswald's Main Street records, but just as much echoes the sort of
pop star charity "We Are the World" extravaganza that reaches for
bombast and settles for magniloquence. In short, it's completely
overblown in the best way possible. Tinkling keys, children
singing, a throbbing bassline, a man talking about how he's been
"treating his love so wrong" and then giving up because we know
what he's talking about anyway, a fadeout that lasts nearly three
minutes, a build-up that lasts six...well..."wow."
Things quiet down for "The Rough Half (Don't Stop)." The B-side is
a casual house jaunt, reminiscent much like "Rushing" of the late
'80s production-wise. Balearic guitars fly high over sighing
synths, while piano pounds away and the vocals knowingly repeat the
words "running around in circles." At times, things get a little
clutteredùthe only complaint that could be leveled at "Rushing" as
wellùbut if "House Of House were formed to inject a grandiose and
soul-searing bit of drama onto the dance floor," they've certainly
accomplished it here. The only question? Where do they possibly go
from here?.
