House of Light have unveiled their latest clip for ‘Room of Lights’ and it’s just the kind of stylish, grungy affair we’ve come to expect of the Berlin group. The band was recently in the country, playing a well-received show at Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club, with ‘Room of Lights’ considered a highlight by many.

House of Light was formed in Berlin by Justin de Vries, who assembled expatriate musicians and locals. Rehearsing in a local punk squat called the Drug Store, they were originally a rock band with musical roots firmly in in the ’80s and ’90s. With the addition of Valentina Veil on synth vocals, the sound of the band morphed and took on a new wave-like, psychedelic direction.

The band’s distinct aesthetic and musical stylings have seen them receive praise from the esteemed likes of Andy Rourke of The Smiths, who interviewed them on East Village radio, and recording with Gordon Rafael, producer for The Strokes and Clif Norrell (Jeff Buckley, Pixies, NIN, REM).
