Van Houten

Live at Play Brew

Friday 12th April

Shoegazers Van Houten have returned with new single ‘Coming Of Age’ via Clue Records / EMI North.

The Leeds-based outfit will embark on a headline tour across the UK in early 2024 as they prepare to launch their debut album.

Reminiscent of artists like Deerhunter, DIIV or Yuck with an unmistakable Yorkshire edge, Coming Of Age' is Van Houten welcoming us into their new sonic world.

It's a cavernous shoegaze affair, filled with woozy psych, sincere storytelling and an earworm refrain declaring there is plenty of new music still to come... "cos we're coming of age, and there's still so much to say".

Van Houten have honed a truly unique, melding a 90's alternative sound & aesthetic with true pop sensibility.

Crafting their own blend of lo-fi indie, psych rock, shoegaze and garage rock, they’ve firmly positioned their place in a blistering new wave of dream pop.

‘Coming Of Age’ marks a brand new release from the exciting new partnership between Clue Records and EMI North, the first physical major label office to open outside London. Together, they intend to champion the rich seam of musical talent in the north by providing vital opportunities and long-term support within the industry for creatives who are not based in the convenience of the capital.

Delighted to have Hartlepool indie-pop cult heroes Mt. Misery joining as special guests on the night.
