HÚS is the musical endeavours of Faroese artist Rólant Lenvig av Reyni. Rólant's music career began in 1995, rocking Faroese stages with the rockband Makrel until 2007. In 2005 Rólant went to London, England to study art and discovered underground electronic music and naturally transitioned to DJing, he later embarked on a solo project, HÚS, releasing its debut album in 2018. HÚS has since then transformed into an audiovisual experience, thanks to collaboration with graphic artist Høgni Magnussen.
Musical Description:
HÚS makes beautiful, hazy, and melancholic instrumental pieces that capture a warm embrace of instrumental folktronica. It’s an evocative sound that’s perfect for contemplative moments, be it on grey autumn days or beyond.
Album review
From the Faroe Islands via Deptford, south-east London, Rólant av Reyni a.k.a. Hús presents a warm hug of instrumental folktronica on Faroe Island’s Kervið label. Lodged perfectly between Bibio's takes on BoC, the melancholy wist of Mount Kimbie, and Burial's ruggeder inner city blues, 'November' is achingly precise in its pursuit of airy instrumental introspection, delivering the kind of goodness that you know will end up soundtracking schmaltz on the BBC at some point. But, until then, it's a fine look for brown and grey autumn days.
