Hands Like Houses began a significant career trajectory after signing with Rise Records in 2012, releasing their debut album, Ground Dweller, that same year. The album immediately made an impact, charting at number 141 on the Billboard 200 and reaching number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. They quickly followed this success in 2013 with their second album, Unimagine, which ascended to number 37 on the Billboard 200. This early period also saw the band establish an active touring presence, including their first appearance on the Vans Warped Tour in 2013.
The band’s third album, Dissonants, released in 2016, achieved significant commercial success by peaking at number 7 on the official Australian charts. During this phase, Hands Like Houses further expanded their touring commitments, participating in the Vans Warped Tour again in both 2015 and 2017. Their global reach was solidified when they signed with Hopeless Records worldwide in 2017, while continuing their partnership with UNFD for releases in Australia and New Zealand. Their fourth studio album, Anon, launched in 2018, continued their chart success, peaking at number 4 in Australia and featuring the single ‘Monster,’ which was selected as the official theme song for WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne.
This expansive project is designed to explore various atmospheric layers, reflecting a profound musical and thematic journey that promises to further cement their position as innovators in the alternative rock landscape.
