English alternative rock band formed in 1986, fronted by Guy Chadwick, known for jangly guitars and the single "Shine On" and for two self-titled albums in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

Early records were released on Creation Records; the band later released material on Fontana. Influences and contemporaries often cited include The Smiths, Jesus and Mary Chain and 4AD-era acts.

A positive, appreciative review celebrating The House of Love's 1980s psychedelic pop-rock and jangly guitar craftsmanship. Highlights include the single "Shine On" and several album tracks deemed underappreciated. Recommended for fans of The Smiths, JAMC and 4AD-era sounds.

For:Fans of 1980s British indie, jangly guitar pop, psychedelic-tinged alternative rock, and listeners who like The Smiths, Jesus and Mary Chain or Cocteau Twins.

 The psychedelic pop-rock of "How Soon Is Now" sublimated into an impressive list of gems.
