If you’ve ever danced your way through heartbreak or clung to something toxic just because it’s familiar, Haus of Sound’s “Madness” is your next obsession. The Seattle-based alt-pop five-piece explodes back onto the scene with their third and most ambitious single yet, delivering a synth-drenched emotional rollercoaster that’s as cathartic as it is cinematic.

Right from the opening line, “Drawn to the dance / My feet knew the beat,” you’re pulled into the track’s seductive storm. With Gabrielle’s smoky, commanding vocals leading the charge, “Madness” channels the brooding energy of Depeche Mode, the disco-funk gloss of Daft Punk, and the radio-friendly punch of Maroon 5, while still carving out its own emotionally-charged, genre-blending lane.

The production is airtight—pulsing drums, retro synth swells, and glitchy textures mirror the chaos described in the lyrics. It’s a toxic-love song for the 3am crowd, soundtracking those moments when clarity and self-destruction are locked in battle. The hook “The world’s going crazy ’round me” hits hard, not just as a lyric, but as a mood. We’re all spinning; some of us are just better at dancing through it. With “Madness,” Haus of Sound doesn’t just deliver a song—they drop a whole aesthetic. And it slaps.
