Leur premier album House of Love sorti sur le label indépendant Creation Records, suscite un enthousiasme critique grâce notamment au jeu de guitares de Terry Bickers. Les singles Shine on et Christine permettent au groupe d'asseoir sa popularité en 1988. Le groupe signe ensuite avec Fontana Records/PolyGram Music pour son deuxième album produit en partie par Stephen Hague, un album sans titre avec pour pochette un papillon: il comprend le single The Beatles and the Stones. Le groupe connaît début 1991 une notoriété en France avec une tournée de plus de vingt dates dont un concert à L'olympia de Paris retransmis sur radio France inter. Leur troisième album Babe Rainbow confirme ce succès dans l'hexagone avec le single You Don't Understand mais en Angleterre, les ventes ne répondent pas aux attentes d'une major. Après un dernier album, House of Love se sépare en 1993. Douze ans plus tard en 2005, ils se reforment et sortent Days Run Away. En 2020, le groupe est de nouveau réduit à Chadwick, celui-ci ayant annoncé une toute nouvelle formation avec d'autres musiciens. (fr)

The House of Love are best known for their detailed psychedelic guitar sound and for other singles such as "Christine" and "Destroy the Heart". In the US, the songs "I Don't Know Why I Love You", "Marble" and "You Don't Understand" were also popular on alternative rock radio stations, respectively reaching number two, number five and number nine on the Billboard Modern Rock chart. The House of Love disbanded in 1993. After a hiatus of 10 years, they reformed in 2003 with Bickers, who had performed on their two first albums. They have been cited as an influence by shoegaze bands Slowdive and Ride. In 2020, Chadwick announced a change of line-up and that he had recruited a new band. (en)

  • ハウス・オブ・ラヴ（The House of Love）は、ガイ・チャドウィックを中心に1986年に結成されたイギリスのロックバンドである。1993年に解散するが、2005年に再結成した。CDジャーナル電子版は再結成を報じる記事にて「愁いを含んだヴォーカルと、ときにサイケになるギター・サウンドが魅力」とバンドを紹介した。 デビュー当初のハウス・オブ・ラヴは初期クリエイションの代表的バンドであった。クッキーシーンの伊藤英嗣は「ザ・スミスに続くスター候補として騒がれていた」と当時の状況を回想している。クリエイションは彼らのアルバム制作のために10万ポンドの借金をしており、1988年のデビューアルバムはレーベルの命運が懸かっていた。投資の結果は吉と出、アルバムは13万枚を売り上げた。バンドはその後40万ポンドの契約金を受け取り、メジャーレーベルのフォノグラムへと移籍した。 デビューアルバムに収録されたシングル「クリスティーヌ」は、2004年にガーディアン紙に掲載された「インディポップ黄金期を飾るシングル10選」なる企画で10位に選ばれている。 (ja)

  • The House of Love är ett engelskt indiepop-band bildat i Camberwell, England 1986. Bandet hade relativt stor kommersiell framgång och influerade flera shoegaze-band och senare alternativa rockband. Frontmannen och låtskrivaren var , och bandet hade en liten mini-hit i Sverige med låten "Christine", deras tredje singel på Creation Records. Dock kom inte deras kommersiella genombrott förrän de fått skivkontrakt med Fontana Records, där deras första singlar "Never" och "I Don't Know..." hamnade just utanför Topp 40-listan i England medan den tredje, en nyutgivning av första singeln "Shine On", kom in på Topp 20. Det öppnade dörrarna för det självbetitlade albumet 1990 som hamnade på Topp 10. Bråk om pengar och droger fick gitarristen Terry Bickers att lämna bandet 1989. Just droger blev ett alltmer problem samtidigt som medias fokus flyttades från London till Manchester. Nya musikstilar som grungen gjorde också sitt till att bandet började falla i popularitet. Trots detta sålde albumen och tillräckligt bra för att nå Topp 40-listan. 1993 fick dock bandet nog och splittrades. 2002 träffades Chadwick och Bickers i en studio för att testa nya låtidéer. Utfallet blev så bra att bandet återförenades och 2005 gavs deras femte album, , ut. (sv)

  • We really needed guidance at that crucial point. Most groups just go nuts. It's like this huge trolley full of booze being placed in front of you. With a whiff of success, people change towards you. We were taking too many drugs, I was drinking ridiculously and that's the worst combination when things are going wrong. (en)
