The House Flies break their year-long quiet with a song that sounds like a late-night walk through empty streets. “Sweet Foxhound” moves on a steady bass pulse and a low, restless guitar line, while the drums keep everything quietly urgent. The vocal comes in almost like a secret, direct and measured, drawing you closer with each phrase.

The lyrics look back at a relationship that feels unfinished and quietly complicated. Phrases such as “salt meets the earth” and “mud beneath our knees” give the story a physical edge, as if the memories are stuck to the ground and impossible to shake. It’s about distance, but it still carries heat and an undercurrent of longing.

This track isn’t just a return after Mannequin Deposit; it shows how the band can keep their dark post-punk mood and still write something listeners will want to replay again and again. “Sweet Foxhound” feels alive, grounded, and a little haunted—proof that The House Flies haven’t lost their creative touch.
