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 Elliot 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.

House of Wolves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull your hands from the ground
Kiss me like it's your ending
Never place me far from your sound
Love me like I'm unending
There’s something more when you’re around
Destroy me I know you’re pretending
All you life’s, all your loves, all your sides, all your lies
All you life’s, all your loves, all your movement that fragments me
It wont be long till I shine on you
Kiss me like it’s the 50’s
Lay your guns on the ground
There’s no other us it is unending
Tomorrow's lovers will be found
All you life’s, all your loves, all your sides, all your lies
All you life’s, all your loves, all your sides
And the bitter side of life, that I like
It’s the bitter side of life, that I like
It’s the bitter side of life, that I like
It’s the bitter side of life
Kiss me like it’s the 50’s
Come to me when I'm found
There’s no other us it is unending
Tomorrow's lovers will be found
