Listen To ‘Sun Leaving’ On IMPOSE!
“Daniel Johnsson is Horrible Houses. Born and raised in the rural town of Särna, Sweden, Daniel started making music some 10 years ago. Heavily inspired by nature and watching the passing of the seasons, he’s written and recorded a handful of full lengths and EPs in the small house he calls home. Alabama-based Happenin Records released “Family Tapes Vol. 1” in 2012, and they will be releasing “Family Tapes Vol. 3″ on cassette in December 2013.”
Daniel, though not too keen on talking about his personal life, has stated that it is important for the listeners to know at least one or two things about him. For example – he takes his coffee black, and he does not really know what a bridge or verse is, neither does he care about it. And even though he may come across as a bit of a bum, he does not practice the hobo lifestyle.”

Praise For Horrible Houses:
“Horrible Houses on the debut of “Sun Leaving” has us at first chord, calling to arms the bed-fort-studio sound from the perfect line opener of, “Sunshine upon your hips, rain drops on your fingertips”— IMPOSE
“Picture Wavves collaborating with Danny Malone for a side project” –Death and Taxes
“Classic lo-fi garage jangle further degraded by countless sharings as one song is lifted from mixtape to mixtape until it’s a warped Peter Bjorn and John popism that is still catchy in its mangled state”— Tiny Mix Tapes
“There’s even this really quiet touch at the back end of the song near the 3 minute mark where you’re just listening to a man and his intricate guitar work while the vocals slowly work their way in. This is in my top songs of the year,” — Austin Town Hall
