House Of Protection have unveiled their introspective new single, ‘I Need More Than This’, the latest preview of their eagerly awaited second EP, ‘Outrun You All’, due May 23 via Red Bull Records.

A shift from the explosive energy of previous singles ‘Afterlife’ and ‘Fire’, this track sees the duo exploring a more subdued, reflective sound while retaining their signature infectious spirit. Wrestling with themes of longing and the search for something greater, ‘I Need More Than This’ blends moody introspection with their unmistakable melodic punch.

Speaking on the track, the band shared: “‘I Need More Than This’ is us exploring a mood between really heavy/fast and slow/chill… We don’t really have a song like this, so it was fun to push ourselves in this way.”
