Album Notes

“Reset. Go back to the start. Let me begin again.”

Thousand Houses chose the name of their new album Reset deliberately. The album represents not only a culmination of months in the studio and on stage but also of years of individual work by each member to get to where they are now - in a band with a singular vision and a chance to start from scratch.

Lead singer and songwriter Matt Banta says, “We’ve all been in numerous bands and have gone down various roads that led to dead ends. With this band, it’s a clean slate.”

Reset represents the varied elements that make up the band’s music. Hook-filled pop songs like “Can’t Let Go,” “Shiloh” and “Will You Save Us” share space with layered compositions such as “Balloon,” “10 to 1” and “Don’t Forget About Love.” The title track, a plea for a second chance in a life lived falsely, closes the album and suggests that the members of the band have learned from their experiences and are now taking nothing for granted. “This band is not about image,” says keyboard player Mitch Towne. “It’s about who we are right now and what we can say through the music.”
