For a brief period of time Keaton Henson was living in California, and there the timeline split in two. On his seventh studio album, the songwriter steps into a parallel universe, one in which his alter ego gives his soul to the limelight and succumbs to a hollowed loneliness. 'House Party' is his most collaborative record to date, inviting friends and “people I’ve met throughout my life” to add their own touches to the record. Describing his usual song writing process as really insular, he explains that this record offered a degree of separation that opened up his work to outside input.
