Rooms of the House
is the third full-length album from Grand Rapids, Michigan-based post-hardcore group
La Dispute
. The band's style is unique in part due to lyricist/vocalist
Jordan Dreyer
's pictorial, poetic lyrics, which fade in and out from vivid spoken word imagery to pained emo screaming. The album was co-produced by Philadelphia multi-genre producer
Will Yip
and represents one of the first releases on the band's own
Better Living
label, following a series of label changes on previous albums. Throughout the album,
Dreyer
paints intricate lyrical pictures of both nightmarish stream-of-consciousness images and banal everyday life as the band explodes behind his strange, often painful stories. ~ Fred Thomas
