Houses of Heaven Debut Kaleidoscopic Video for “Deserve” Featuring MS. BOAN

The Oakland ensemble of seasoned musicians known as Houses of Heaven has mastered the art of constructing music from a diverse palette of sounds that skillfully integrate and intertwine the melodic intricacies of post-punk with the unrefined vigor of early industrial tones while also infusing their tracks with the rhythmic essences of EBM, techno, and drum and bass. This eclectic fusion crafts a mesmerizing juxtaposition, effortlessly sailing between the delicate emotional landscapes of the human condition and the meticulous structure of electronic music.

With their latest venture, “Deserve,” Houses of Heaven truly pulls out all the stops, inviting the dynamic presence of MS BOAN (Mariana Saldaña) to the forefront, whose vocals erupt in a spectacular display. Clothed in an opulent array of synths, her voice serves a sumptuous feast of goth-disco ecstasy, coaxing even the most reserved into a dance floor revelry.

“Deserve” harnesses the commanding allure of MS. BOAN’s voice, placing her formidably in the lead, surrounded by a celestial array of synths, conjuring a moment of gothic dancefloor liberation. Her Spanish lyrics resonate with a potent message: “You don’t deserve love, you don’t deserve my love, you don’t know love, it’s not for you.”

The song’s visual counterpart, orchestrated by Claude Cardenas, is nothing short of a visual feast. Imagine a mélange of kaleidoscopic visions, neon illuminations, and avant-garde creativity blended into a concoction that captivates and bewilders in equal measure.

Watch the video for “Deserve” below:

Houses of Heaven is composed of the multi-talented Keven Tecon, who not only lends his voice but also shapes the soundscape with his adept handling of synthesizers, guitars, and drum programming. Adam Beck brings his expertise in synths and guitars to the mix, contributing to the rhythmic foundation alongside Rachel Travers, whose percussive skills solidify the trio’s unique sound. Their recent performance at the Substance Festival in Los Angeles underscored their distinctive approach to music-making.

Their forthcoming album, “Within/Without,” set to release on April 26th through Felte, delves into the dichotomy of fantasy and reality that permeates our modern existence, highlighting the craving for authentic connection amidst the isolating echo chamber of technology. The album, a testament to the band’s distinct sound and creative vision, was brought to life at Infinite Power Studios in Los Angeles under the guidance of producer Matia Simovich, with Grover Greenberg assisting in the intricate processes of tape transfer and editing. The final touch, mastering, was expertly handled by Josh Bonati.
