Haus of Sound’s Madness is an ‘80s Synth-Rock Anthem to your Own Descent

There’s a different kind of comfort that comes from moments you know you’ll be damned. And the sound? Madness. The repetition, the destructive patterns, and the emotional turmoil it brings is perfectly translated into an 80s synth-rock anthem by Haus of Sound.

Haus of Sound is a 5-piece alt-pop band from Seattle. When they step onto the stage, there’s an undeniable charm from their atmospheric synths and dynamic energy that brings movement even in the midst of chaos.

Madness will immediately pull you into a spiral with swirling pads and clean guitar fill-ins. Right from the start, it creates a contrasting space that’s both dreamy and unsettling, which you’ll be caught in no time. Gabrielle’s voice is on top. There’s a distinct tone to her vocals that’s dark, bold, and slowly eroding from making the same mistakes over and over again. But the catch is, she’s willingly into it as much as she fights it.

The raps give the track more color and punch into it. It’s more than just an additional layer, but a direct and tight release that extends its dimension. Despite the track’s ringing familiarity, there’s still a modern punch embedded deep. Every verse hits with its sharp, poetic edge that matches their musicality. Imagine hearing Depeche Mode’s dark vibe and Daft Punk’s mechanical grooves, with Maroon 5’s clever hooks in one track.

Haus of Sound’s Madness does more than just perform a cycle—it mirrors a terrifying chaos of self-destruction and the twist? You’ll keep on dancing into it.
