Edinburgh duo Quiet Houses have shared new single ‘What My Heart Is For’. The group made their introduction in 2021, sharing bold debut EP ‘Big Town’ to warm acclaim. Since then the duo – Jamie Stewart and Hannah Elliott – have dug deeper, working on fresh ideas, and taking their music in some unexpected directions.
Fuzzy electronics meets assured dream pop, ‘What My Heart Is For’ is a moment of maturity. Reminiscent of Beach House in places, they also yearn for the melodic directness of London Grammar,
Amid all this, the sense of openness is very Scottish, very Celtic – there’s a drone backing, while the half-whispered vocal yearns for something “just across the water…”
Jamie Stewart and Hannah Elliott comment:
“’What My Heart is For’ is a song about the ridiculousness of having dreams and pursuing them. It’s about wanting something desperately even when you’re not sure what it is you want or why you want it.”
