NEW COLLECTION SERVES AS CONTRASTING COMPANION TO 2024 RELEASE
LISTEN TO CAPTIVATING NEW SONG “I DON’T WANNA MOVE ON” HERE
Nashville, TN – Montana-bred/Nashville-based indie-folk quartet TopHouse is set to release their new EP. Practice on February 14th. The six-song collection brims with the group’s genre-bending blend of rock, folk, pop and Celtic influences, pensive lyrics, soaring vocal harmonies and proficient musicianship. Their new single, “I Don’t Wanna Move On,” contemplates the aftermath of a long relationship with emotive vocals and frenetic melodies. Listen HERE.
Practice features contrasting subject matter to their recent EP, Theory, which was released in May 2024. While the substance of Theory exuded optimism and hope, Practice is a more contemplative collection that reflects on challenges and mistakes made while growing and evolving as human beings.
The songs on Practice offer insightful revelations through relatable narratives on top of TopHouse’s intricate and melodic arrangements. “Meteor” opens with an intimate vocal leading into an infectious chorus with lush strings while addressing the perils of self-destruction. On “Better Than This,” the protagonist ruminates on the standards he once held himself to before making a decision that altered his life trajectory. Practice closes with the heartening “Falling,” a song that captures the euphoria of emerging on the other side and finding love again.
Formed in Missoula, Montana in 2016, TopHouse members chose to move to Nashville in 2019 to pursue music full time, releasing their first album on their own (2019’s Hope & Fears). Soon after, everything came to a halt when the pandemic hit. With time on their hands in an unfamiliar new city, the band became hyper-focused on honing their craft by practicing and writing. They released their second album (2021’s Snapshot), but they could not tour to support either release.
In spring of 2022, the four band members – Joe Larson (lead vocals/guitar), Jesse Davis (guitar, mandolin), William Cook (violin) and Andy Lafave (piano) – began posting live performance videos and, to their surprise, the views began accumulating almost immediately. Applying their DIY ethos, the group began booking their own shows, playing anywhere they could, including backyards, bars, living rooms, campsites and wherever else possible. Word started to spread organically and more people started showing up at tiny gigs, often driving hours to get there. The band and their new audience began to cultivate a fan-inspired community that became part of their unique live experience, which often includes their wry wit and quirky stage banter while interacting with the crowd. Their hard work and dedication started paying off, and within two years, TopHouse was selling out clubs and venues from coast to coast (see list of upcoming tour dates below).
Today, TopHouse has nearly 300k followers on Instagram, millions of listens on streaming services and a passionate fanbase. Aside from a cherished relationship with their audience, the most rewarding part of their success to date is that it has been on their own terms.
