I can no longer prolong the greatest moment of my life. I cannot afford to be afraid of the long silence. Of the after after. The people that populate my bedroom have become too real. My option is every door, every sun and mountain of night. Our options are in people. Honest voices are doors. I have stopped trying to control the narrative. To prescribe the reality of self. Not sleep until ending. Not sleep until climax. I am awake now. I am awake now. I will stop trying to wake up and I will walk out the door and I will see in a way that listens. This moment will be a kingdom of yes simply in the naming. It was always a choice. It was always a way of seeing. I am in Paradise.
-Brian Stephen Ellis
"Like the Whitehaus itself, the music and material on the double LP morphs and transmutes, shifting from spoken word to fuzzy indie-pop to cracked folk to experimental soundscapes." -The Boston Globe
"The 27-track Family Record is the best possible document of Haus culture - scraps of pop songs, folk songs, audio collage, and brain-drain hallucination rants float by on warbly tape like lost '60s field recordings. Highly recommended." -The Boston Phoenix
"Listening to this locally-made, 26-track double-album feels like hanging at a party you wished you'd been invited to...It's stylistically all over the place, from stripped-down songs to full-band adventures to spoken-word pieces, but still somehow feels cohesive. They're doing JP proud." -Bradley's Almanac
"Whatever it is that The Whitehaus Family are doing right, though, they are doing very right indeed because this is excellent. It manages to be both eclectic and extremely consistent which is something I have never really seen in projects of this nature before, and I am massively impressed." -Song, By Toad (Scotland music blog)
"The compilation features killer jams." -Get Off the Coast (Altered Zones)
