This edition of dream pop BOPS drifts into the shadows – a single track built on atmosphere, tension, and beauty in distortion. Today’s feature, is The House Flies.
The House Flies – Sweet Foxhound
The House Flies weave shadow into melody – brooding, hypnotic, and heartbreakingly alive
Sweet Foxhound feels like standing under a flickering streetlight at 2 a.m., lost somewhere between memory and motion. Built on shadowy guitar lines and a deep, hypnotic pulse, the track merges post-punk grit with dream-pop weightlessness. The vocals have a real Mark Linkous quality to them, which we love, and they drift through the mix, holding enough clarity to cut through. There’s a beautiful sad tension at the heart – the sense of something vast underneath the sound. The guitar line is also dreamy AF. It’s melancholic without despair, romantic without gloss. Sweet Foxhound proves The House Flies are masters of the in-between – crafting music that hums with the quiet electricity of dreams you can almost touch.
