Amy's Fresh Meet: Halves
Ìý
Ok Ok...I haven’t wrote a ‘fresh meet’ feature in a loooong time. I’ve been too busy listening to the shear amount of Irish material that’s been released in the last few months. So what better way to start back than to (further) introduce you to an old Irish favourite, Halves.
A band ATL have previously given heavy rotation, their debut album ‘It Goes, It Goes (Forever & Ever)’ is finally about to arrive (Oct 29th) and it see’s the Dublin troupe truly move into a whole other sphere.
Their brand of electronic tinged, string layered post rock is reminiscent of Icelandic pop experimentalists Múm, with the soft & sombre moments of Danish outfit Efterklang and of course some of the more traditional post rock stylings of Mogwai.
