This House - Soft Rains Will Come (2026) [Hi-Res]

“Soft Rains Will Come” is the second collaboration between G.W. Sok, the original singer of the seminal Dutch punk band The Ex. and Ignacio Córdoba, following their 2024 experimental collage album “Is This A House”.

This time, the pair rebuild their fragmented sound within a band - This House- alongside drummer Søren Høi and synthesist Kristian Tangvik, turning abstraction into something loud, rhythmic, and alive.

At its core, the record treats rhythm as architecture. Every instrument acts as percussion, each with its own colour and instability, orbiting around Høi’s asymmetric drumming and Sok’s unmistakable voice; songs that are repetitive yet constantly shifting, cycling through breaks and build-ups until the sound itself begins to disintegrate. Guitars scrape, synths pulse, and voices fall into noise. The thematic heart of the album lies in Sok’s lyrical meditations on politics, identity, relationships, and belonging.
