Focused on post-breakup catharsis, Seattle-based alternative rock band Haus of Sound returns with sophomore single “Pain in My Eyes”. It’s a synth-driven pop punk track that explores the empowering feeling of finally letting go. “Pain in My Eyes” relies on true emotional healing with big soaring melodies, fiery instrumentation and a truly remarkable vocal performance from lead singer Gabrielle Burton.
Taking in influences from seminal 2000s acts like Paramore, The Killers, and Evanescence, Haus of Sound strays away from the sounds explored on ska-leaning “Anxiety” and delivers an emotional journey that feels palpable. The American band’s new single captures the aftermath of a toxic relationship with vivid detail but twists the expectations and finds an enlightened clarity. The song illustrates the moment in which the post-breakup grief turns into nothing, and that nothing paves the way to freedom.
It’s a thrilling track of universal relatability and shines bright with a sense of chaotic closure. “Pain in My Eyes” lies at the end of the spiral and offers a new road to walk on with cathartic resolution. Haus of Sound does a great job in expanding their sonic landscape with urgent drums and a richly textured background that perfectly fits the hope present on the lyrics. Breakups can be tough, and the process of grief always takes time, but Haus of Sound’s latest single is about the end of such a process when everything feels like it can be good again.
The way “Pain in My Eyes” flips the breakup narrative feels adventurous and exciting, like you’re finally able to start living life again after the trauma. It’s an anthemic track of release and possibility, offering a comforting pop rock atmosphere that is refreshingly optimistic. “Pain in My Eyes” is a nice step forward for the quartet that shows their range in sound as well as intimate storytelling, making it the perfect soundtrack for the first night out when you feel like yourself again.
