Boston-based passionate post-punk trio House Of Harm have unfurled a gorgeous new black and white video for their track “Waste of Time”, not a moment too soon, as the band has just announced the third pressing of their twice sold-out debut album Vicious Pastimes.
House of Harm’s unique, dark reverb-soaked coldwave hovers just on the precipice of gothic rock, sitting alongside sonic bedfellows Editors, She Past Away, and early 4AD: although melancholy, their shadowy pop never falls entirely into a chasm of despair, treading the darkness between The Cure’s Disintegration era and the light of Aztec Camera’s Love.
The video for “Waste of Time” is a barebones, straight performance with no narrative, but beautifully photographed, enveloping frontman Mickey R. in light, while highlighting the brilliant backing synths, guitars, and vocals.
