Archive material and source history
Picture House formed in London in the early 2000s around vocalist John Harle and guitarist Peter Crompton. They released their debut album 'Only a Picture' in 2003, which established their sound with what some described as ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics. The track '15th Time' from their 2009 album became particularly well-known, often mentioned for its melancholic quality.
Over time, the lineup shifted with bassist Billy Reeves and drummer Chris Marais leaving, replaced by Sam Owen and Andy Butler. They've put out five albums through 2020, including 'Limelight' and 'No One Knows'. Their music has appeared in some films and television shows, though they've also faced criticism from some quarters about being too sentimental.
What remains is a modest catalog that includes songs like 'A Thousand Years of Evolution' and 'Empty Nest'.
