House of Wolves is the musical moniker of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Rey Villalobos, the name's origin coming from the translation of Villa-lobos from Spanish to English. A Los Angeles native, Villalobos's family originates from two different sides of the globe - Cananea Sonora México and Francavilla al Mare on the Italian Adriatic Coast. Rey grew up a classically trained pianist, citing Chopin as his first and main musical influence.
House of Wolves debut album Fold In The Wind presents a warm, ethereal, and poetic collection. While beautifully eerie in acoustic form, the songs are filled with emotional, intricate, and organic sounds, and blended with Villalobos's haunting melodies and tender voice they call to mind Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, and Beach House.
This past 2010, Villalobos spent his time touring the U.S. and Europe and playing shows with: Sharon Van Etten, Villagers, White Rabbits, The Middle East, Avi Buffalo, Blind Pilot, Laura Gibson, Damien Jurado, Little Joy, Seabear, Kaki King, and Fanfarlo.
The album is produced and mixed by John Askew (The Dodos, Neko Case, Peggy Sue). House of Wolves “50’s” is featured on Vogue’s documentary of model/actress Malgosia Garnys. Malgosia shows promise as part of a new generation of young performers. 
“The songwriting is very strong, cinematic even. Rey has a knack for mise-en-scène - one that’s romantic and shot like a French New Wave film.” – YVYNYL
“50’s” is a soft tune that shines like a setting sun on a summer day. Distant trumpet wraps lightly around the warm strumming of a guitar while jangly percussion rings from below, all layered under Villalobos’ gentle, somewhat haunting, voice. The result is a devastatingly tender folk-pop song laced with poignant, heartfelt emotion” - Neon Waves
“the beautifully plaintive “50′s”, with tender vocals and a muted trumpet backing it gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. The second, “Jealous”, has an echo effect applied to his voice giving it an otherworldly sound as he sings over an acoustic guitar and is absolutely gorgeous” – Listen Before You Buy
