The solo project from composer Ken Rangkuty, Keenhouse delivers a unique blend of electronic wizardry and dreamy synth-pop that creates something richer your average bedroom dreampop.
The demos that would become Keenhouse’s debut Civic Transit were a reaction to Rangkuty’s own desires to combine his own extensive training on piano with a desire to make communicative pop music of his own. Taking inspiration from his diverse upbringing in Indonesia and Germany, Keenhouse’s music drifts around nostalgic takes on a youth remembered only in dreams. Themes of teenaged innocence, young love, and futuristic fantasies paint a picture of equal parts neon dancefloor and childhood daydreams. A studio rat at heart, Keenhouse promises to continue to deliver a dizzying array of remixes while continuing to write songs for his follow up to Civic Transit.
The new EP Better Days releases March 5th on Beatport, and March 12th worldwide.
