“Housemuzik” was released in 2019 and is the second opus since this band’s
‘comeback’ in 2017 by the “Romo”-album.

If you
like ‘classic’ synth-pop songs, which are well-crafted and accomplished with
carrying melody lines and this typical ‘retro’-touch, this is an album you are
going to like. The main characteristic remains the unique voice of the artist;
somewhat androgenic, but definitely a unique timbre of voice. Among the
tracklist you’ll also find 2 short instrumental intermezzos.

My comments are pretty comparable to the previous album of Empire State
Human. The music is well-crafted, confirming great composing skills; carrying
melody lines and a rather sophisticated production featuring multiple little
details. On top of it all there’s this sweet, fragile and particular voice,
which is one among thousands. Both instrumental cuts are excellent.

And here again I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of Aidan Casserly’s
timbre of voice; he’s a great singer, but I feel some aversion. Production-wise
the songs sound a bit too compressed for my taste.
Conclusion:
This album is maybe
the best Empire State Human one in history; a fully accomplished composition
with this little retro touch on top and a particular voice.
Best
songs:“Sweet Point”, “House On Ocean Drive”, “B For Baby”.
