In 2022, just a few months after forming Hause Plants, Guilherme Machado Correia moved to Brooklyn with the rest of the band, chasing the dream of making music and going out at night in a big city. Inspired by the series Girls, 2000s blogs, and many records from that era, Hause Plants were quickly embraced by the indie scene they encountered in New York.
Over the following two years, the Lisbon-based band performed across Europe and the United States, sharing stages with bands such as Dehd (USA), Cola (CA), Ducks Ltd. (CA), Quivers (AUS), and The Lounge Society (UK), and appearing at festivals including South by Southwest, Eurosonic Noorderslag, FOCUS Wales, among many others.
In 2025, Guilherme returned to the studio alone, determined to reconnect with the band’s identity and rediscover himself as a musician, moving increasingly closer to dance music. Once the first demos were ready, these new songs were brought into the rehearsal room, where Hause Plants — now with Hugo Luzio on drums — spent time transforming electronic sketches into dance-punk tracks played with real instruments.
The result is Shake The Empty Feeling, the band’s debut album, recorded and produced by Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor, Hinds, The Cribs) at Eiger Studios in Leeds, where the four musicians recorded live while playing together in the same room at the same time. Scheduled for release in 2026, Shake The Empty Feeling is an album about friendship, fun, and growing up in a healthy way — and proof that Hause Plants are one of the most fun, exciting, and creatively restless bands around today.
