Food House Unveils Their Sophomore Album ‘Two House’
Five years after their debut work in the hyperpop genre, the dynamic alternative pop duo, Food House, has released their highly anticipated second album titled ‘two house’. This new project is being hailed as their best work to date.
About Food House
Food House is an electronic music collective formed by two friends, Gupi and Fraxiom. The duo began sharing their music during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, culminating in the release of their first album, food house.
Describing their music presents a challenge, as it defies easy categorization; it has been likened to a mashup of styles reminiscent of 3OH!3, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Nicki Minaj, intertwined with elements of metal and the wild creativity from the early days of Twitter.
New Album ‘Two House’
Although ‘two house’ was released several weeks ago, its unique sound has warranted a thoughtful review. The album, with 17 tracks spanning nearly an hour, showcases a blend of personal anecdotes and emotional intensity that resonates deeply with listeners.
Initial impressions may suggest that ‘two house’ is softer than its predecessor; however, the album compensates for this perceived gentleness with a meticulous approach, expertly balancing chaos and precision. The signature unpredictability of Food House remains, yet there is a discernible refinement in how they construct each track.
Exploring Themes and Sound
The album maintains an engaging energy, even when tackling heavier topics such as familial rejection and toxic relationships. For instance, the track ‘Everybody’s Eyes’ poignantly addresses issues of acceptance, with Fraxiom confronting the painful absence of parental support regarding their transgender identity. Lines like, “Come on, man, just call me your daughter for the hell of it” convey a raw emotional truth that resonates strongly with those familiar with such struggles.
Other tracks like ‘Dancing On Your Grave’ and ‘Jumpin The —-‘ reflect a braggadocious spirit, showcasing self-assuredness while playfully addressing critics of their art. Even as the duo navigates through their grievances, they adeptly pivot to surreal references and meme-driven callbacks that infuse humor and levity into their work.
Conclusion: A Deeper Experience
In the closing track, ‘Dumb Ways to Die’, Fraxiom expresses a yearning for self-discovery and contentment, stating, “I need a type of therapy that hasn’t been invented yet”. This line encapsulates the blend of introspection and lightheartedness that defines the album.
While ‘two house’ may not have the immediate hook of their first album, its deeper layers deliver thoughtful commentary and emotional depth. It stands out as both an entertaining pop record and a more personal narrative, affirming the duo’s evolution as artists. As Food House embarks on the next chapter of their musical journey, fans are eager to see what innovations they will unfold in the future.
