It's hard for me to classify their style of music... The lead singer sounds a bit like the lead singer from Snow Patrol. But when it comes to instrumentation, it's hard to find a good comparison. Many of the songs incorporate horns, which is rare for a rock band. No two songs sound the same, yet there's a thread woven through the entirety of the album. When I first started listening to Pink Floyd, I was struck by how much I wanted to listen to the entire album at once, rather than just a track or two. With Typhoon, I get that same feeling. Don't put this album on shuffle -- it's perfect the way it is.Sometimes it's hard to find a band that can deliver on both music and lyrics, but Typhoon succeeds here as well. The lyrics are not just a series of words thrown together; they actually say something. And often, what they say is rather deep. Take "Kitchen Tile," for instance:You don't want to waste what's left of your lifeTrying to stay aliveFor just a little whileOr even better, the song "Summer Home":My little sister, I was two,The year that you were born and Ben came after youWe all three shared gentle youthOur mother combed our hair, our father cleaned our woundsThen a small thing happened, or sunk its toothAnd I was left behind, in different shapes you moveIn my peripheral sight I reach out for youBut when I turn my head I’m in an empty roomA faceless clock, the hands unmovedBut for a layer of dust, a cobweb or twoIn a broken mirror I see my broken truthsNow when I comb my hair, I pull the gray ones looseYou really can't go wrong with these guys. Any album is a good choice. Simply put: it's music that sticks with you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Folkestra *by J***N on August 15, 2014* As a writer of novels, I understand the importance of story structure. What I did not expect was finding the structure often found in short stories to be present in music. Typhoon is a band that is concerned with telling the truth. Not an overly emotional kind of truth. Just simply the truth that comes from honest, good ol' fashioned suffering.Those who know some background on the lead singer of this band understand he has struggled with his health for most of his life, and this struggle is reflected in his music. This EP in particular deals with many themes reflecting health, death, loneliness, and finding truth in it all. Which is really all we're trying to do right? Find some good honest truth, even if it is painful. But this album is not only about his health. This album deals with themes that any of us can find poignant no matter where we are in this thing called life.This album is very orchestral for a Folk type band (Folkestra?). Every song on this album has a moment that achieves musical fusion, it penetrates the heart and reminds us of times that we've struggled in our lives. If you're a fan of Typhoon and you don't already own this, buy it for hell's sake! If you don't know who Typhoon is, and you've stumbled upon this page, understand that you have stumbled upon a band that understands music is art. It isn't solely for enjoyment (though that is certainly present). If music is art, and this album certainly falls under that distinction, then this is a work to be studied. It deserves to be enjoyed by everyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The first time I heard Typhoon I liked it and bought an album *by Z***T on April 19, 2015* The first time I heard Typhoon I liked it and bought an album, listened to it and then wasn't sure if I like it at all. The music is complex in terms of tempo, volume and instrumentation and uses a wide variety of instruments. The harmonies are unique and the singers earnest. And you find yourself repeating the riffs and wanting to hear it again. And again. That was Whiter Lighter. A New Kind of House seems to be a continuation of that effort and just as rewarding to listen to.Ok - I do have one complaint about Typhoon's albums: the volume dynamics make it difficult to listen to in anything other than perfect silence. I suppose I could normalize my mp3s. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/20509591-a-new-kind-of-house](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/20509591-a-new-kind-of-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
