House of Hats

House of Hats

House of Hats is an indie folk group from England, built around the shared lead vocals and songwriting of Noddy and Alex. Their sound is centred on minimal acoustic instrumentation, close harmonies and a natural, understated approach that places them near folk, even though listeners also associate them with indie and easy listening.

Sound and style

The group’s music combines two distinct voices and writing styles. Noddy and Alex sing in harmony and their blend is a defining feature of the act. The arrangement style is restrained and acoustic, which gives the music a folk character without reducing it to a single genre. Their sound is often compared with Angus & Julia Stone and Fleetwood Mac, and the harmony-led approach is also likened to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Release history

House of Hats self-release their debut self-titled EP. This release introduces the group’s core musical approach: simple acoustic backing, male and female lead vocals, and a focus on songwriting and vocal interplay rather than heavy production.
