Two years after Soft Right, Pet Lions returns with their debut full-length Houses (release date May 10, 2011), bringing warmth, depth, and maturity to the punchy pop of their debut EP. Produced by Neil Strauch (Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, Iron and Wine, Bonnie “Prince” Billy), Houses shows Pet Lions moving from home to home, sharing auditory real estate with power-pop mainstays Phoenix, art stars Deerhunter and Sonic Youth, and synth nostalgists Tears For Fears and OMD. With Houses, Pet Lions has channeled regret, desire, and hope into a noisy yet melodic whole – for the first time, they feel right at home.

Everything should be perfect
Everything should be perfect
All your heavy sunlight
Skews my time line
Kiss me with your bitter lipstick
Kiss me with your bitter lipstick
Keep a hand on my phone
On my way home
Every time I wake up at your place
I can't help thinking 'bout
How much longer I'll make it this way
Tell me to stay
Maybe we could start it over
Maybe we could start it over
Maybe we could start it over
Maybe we could start it over
When I come back next time
Damen Blue Line
Wait until I'm feeling sober
Wait until I'm feeling sober
And I'll stay up all night
Changing my mind
Every time I wake up at your place
I can't help thinking 'bout
How much longer I'll make it this way
Tell me to stay
Stay
On a boat
For the weekend
Saw a fight
Big city living
In the car
In the guestroom
Up all night
I can't forget you
I can't forget you
