New York City-based singer-songwriter YONAH has just released the reflective and breezy indie rock track, “House of Damage.”
“House of Damage” has a pleasing, 1990s alternative rock/post-punk/pop vibe, filled with a gorgeous, nonchalant melodic charm that is hard to resist. Driven rhythmically by the mellow yet uplifting textures of acoustic guitar, the track exudes a reflective and carefree vibe.
The drums provide stability and direction with a steady, cymbal-heavy groove, while the bass pulses underneath with a lush sense of warmth and smoothness. However, it is the electric lead guitar that stands out as the track progresses. The simple yet beautifully evocative lines add rich, vibrant texture with effortless ease.
The vocal of YONAH takes on an almost conversational tone across the track, which helps draw you into the composition and makes the lyrics feel relatable. Playful, quirky, confessional, and with a catchy chorus, the delivery has the same timeless quality as tracks like OMC’s “How Bizarre” or Beck’s “Loser.”
Lyrically, “House of Damage“ is a brutally honest and nostalgic reflection on YONAH’s life experiences. Filled with melodic allure and heartfelt expression, the song is a sublime journey through the world of this gifted songwriter.
