North House

North House is the Minneapolis-based indie rock duo of married couple Hannah and Paul Pirner, who've been crafting their brand of introspective, reverb-drenched rock since forming in 2018. Known for blending dream pop textures with post-punk urgency, their music explores themes of modern anxiety, domestic surrealism, and emotional resilience through tracks like the shimmering "Valley Kids" and the stormy crescendos of "Storm System." Their DIY ethos shines in self-produced releases and handmade music videos featuring Midwestern landscapes bathed in VHS nostalgia.

The pair maintains a playful mystique (their 2023 collab "Maybe God Is Afraid of Us?" features fellow Minneapolis weirdos Baby Blanket) while building a cult following through intimate live shows that transform basements and record stores into cathartic singalongs. Recent releases like "Body Pillow" showcase their evolution toward denser production while retaining the lyrical vulnerability that's become their signature. They quietly self-release music through small indie labels like Forged Artifacts, letting their growing catalog of existential bangers speak louder than any press photos.
