Bio:

Endless Forms is an indie dreampop project started by writer and producer Justin Allen in 2015 with the release of his debut Lazarus — a thoughtful album reaching out for a cathartic answer to life’s looming existential questions. Endless Forms’ subsequent releases — 2017’s If There Were Water, 2020’s More Than Candy, and 2022’s Electric Heat Hypnotized each dive progressively further into the fractal, evolving with each release into a dreamy marriage of deep atmosphere, layered rhythms, and earnest lyrics that led to Endless Forms’ music being featured in the shows Elite and Kitz on Netflix, and also in art exhibitions in collaboration with Living Arts of Tulsa and Philbrook Museum of Art.

Endless Forms’ upcoming album, The House of Love is the most intimate and personal album Justin Allen has ever released. In a strange way, it’s an album of love songs. But where most love songs are written from the standpoint of falling in love, these songs are written instead from the middle of the marathon, when we start to be held a little too close, get afraid of loss, and it makes us want to hide or act out. The House of Love is written from a vulnerable place — colored by the fear and uncertainty that come truly belonging to someone. The House of Love is also Endless Forms’ most sonically dynamic album to date, with the large themes buoyed by spacious, ethereal textures, and layered rhythms that border on funky. The music seeks such simple pleasure that you might forget how much is truly at stake. The House of Love is an album that takes the large themes of past Endless Forms albums and distills them into a more intimate human question: how do we love when we are afraid?
