Chicago band This House is Creaking (THiC) have shared their new single “Something Else.” This single follows last month’s release of their song “2 LAMP (lava lamp)”. The new track embraces confusion and continues to look for certainties.

The band says:

This is a song about accepting mediocrity in the face of failure, even when you cannot figure out why it is you’ve failed, and trying to fix things that seem to have broken without understanding how they broke in the first place. It’s a funny song we made with our friends Peter Schultze and Hunter Borowick from Tuff Sudz.

This past summer, This House is Creaking released their second album, I Want To Feel At Home Here. It “wrestles with wondering what is happening in the world and how to find oneself within it.”

THiC will kick off 2026 with an opening slot for DIIV at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, IL on January 17 as part of the Tomorrow Never Knows Festival’s 20th anniversary edition, and a performance at Ground Control Touring Presents: 4th Annual Abortion Access Benefit Series, on January 24 at the Empty Bottle alongside artists such as Tobacco City, Good Flying Birds, Action/Adventure, and Mass Text.
