Human Like a House is an album by American folk-pop duo The Finches. [1] [2] [5] It was released on January 30, 2007. The album's packaging contained woodcut drawings created by vocalist Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs. [6]
Pitchfork wrote that the album's "backward thinking, front-porch-rocking-chair charisma pales in comparison to more progressive folk contemporaries." [3] Exclaim! called Human Like a House "an album of simple compositions and gentle melodies." [7] SF Weekly wrote that "the songs unwind slowly here, sedate melodies that soothe you into a false sense of security, but under the placid surface are hints at ancient wounds that refuse to heal."

Shoegaze is a subgenre of indie and alternative rock characterized by its ethereal mixture of obscured vocals, guitar distortion and effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume. It emerged in Ireland and the United Kingdom in the late 1980s among neo-psychedelic groups who usually stood motionless during live performances in a detached, non-confrontational state. The name comes from the heavy use of effects pedals, as the performers were often looking down at their pedals during concerts.
