Halogen Launch New Album - “Sirens” |
Worldly, sophisticated and critically acclaimed Halogen are about to hit the global scene but not before they tour their latest release, “Sirens”, to Australian audiences.
Halogen launched their third full-length album and tenth commercial release to a capacity home audience in Perth on Saturday 30th of September at the Amplifier Bar, a show that will be followed by dates in the East coast of the country.
The first single from “Sirens”, Baby’s Eyes has been on rotation on national broadcaster Triple J for four months and Sydney’s prominent station FBI has already embraced a second song, The Letter by adding it to their play list.
Set on a course of artistic fulfillment, Halogen’s 2003 debut album “Save The Ones You Love”, boasted a string of guitar based power pop songs and won them two W.A. Music Industry Awards. Their follow up “Building On The Edge Of The Sky”, 2004, heralded an excursion into electronica and was also extremely well received. “Sirens” displays a synergy of both musical styles making it a unique listening experience of moody and beautifully crafted pop.
Halogen have received a personal invitation from the director of the prestigious concert series “Sings Like Hell” to perform at that festival in California next March and will also be showcasing at South By Southwest as part of a North American tour in 2007.
The openness and maturity of “Sirens” amalgamates the rich personalities and influences of the eclectic Halogen members. They are: an inspirational Chinese/New Zealander doll aficionada singer-songwriter, an ambitious multitalented multimedia artist songwriter-guitarist, a classically-trained-in-trumpet precision guitarist, a Polish born Conservatorium of Music graduate bass player and an ultra hip born-to-be-in-a-band perfectionist drummer.
Critical Acclaim for Baby’s Eyes
“…an intricate blend of textures and melodies which blur the distinction between pop and electronic… discover the dynamic beauty for yourself… superlative.” ’Faster Louder
“Music that will probably find its worth outside its homeland, which may well be our loss.” Drum Media
“…by cleverly avoiding clichés and deftly dodging dirge this might still be pop music but that hasn’t compromised its credibility.” Juice Magazine
