Halfsour at Whisperin and Hollerin
Half Sour are a faux-naive indie-pop outfit, straight outta Boston and from the sound of it. They are more North end rather than Southies it seems. When the opening blast of What Your Waiting jumps out of the speakers at you, it suggests this album is full of rather urgent sounding songs. Grump, the second… Continue reading Halfsour at Whisperin and Hollerin
Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin
This is the latest single from Animal Daydream is the sort of single you’d expect to be released in early summer as it is so bright and breezy it can’t be about the dark winters of the bands Gothenburg home. The 7″ single plays at 33 RPM but thankfully I spotted that before dropping the… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin
Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
About a year ago we featured the Easy Pleasures EP, the debut recording by Gothenburg, Sweden guitar pop duoAnimal Daydream (link). Our only complaint was that at four songs, we were left wanting more. A year later, Daniel Fridlund Brandt and Alexander Wahl have sought to resolve our concerns with the Citrus EP, four more tracks… Continue reading Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
Animal Daydream at Fear and Loathing
I remember being a little kid, agitated and bored in the backseat of our family station wagon. I was young enough not to be in school but old enough to be aware of what was around me. I would have to ride along with my mom to pick my dad up from his job. It… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Fear and Loathing
Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
The folks at Seattle record label (and record store) Jigsaw Records bring us Tuesday Night Live – the debut album by Halfsour. The Boston trio’s brand of indie-pop comes from the other side of the tracks, where “cute and precious” is overpowered by fast-paced, retro jangle and fearless, yet catchy, melodies. I immediately fell for… Continue reading Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
Animal Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
We move North to Gothenburg to meet Daniel Fridlund Brandt and Alexander Wahl, a very enigmatic duo that appeared on the scene in 2014. They have released two EPs to date, both out thanks to the always reliable Jigsaw Records, first debut ‘Easy Pleasures‘ in January 2015 and now, exactly a year later, ‘Citrus‘. Eight… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog
We suppose there might be some quibbling, especially as how one defines “big” or “Boston” has some bearing on the matter, but it seems indisputable anyway that the first big Boston album of 2016 comes courtesy of Halfsour. The trio’s terrific debut long-player Tuesday Night Live, which streets next week, boasts scads of brisk tunes… Continue reading Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog

Halfsour at Collapse Board
Say you’ve gone out to see a gig in a new town. You’ve arrived early, as is your custom, but already people are crowding the couches and milling in bunches. You don’t know any of these people. Your legs lock as you stand at the threshold, scanning for somewhere unobtrusive to sit. Twenty minutes crawl… Continue reading Halfsour at Collapse Board
