Adam Halogen is back. Almost 5 years after the release of his wondrously subtle album 'Baked', the London based composer returns with a new single, 'So' released by new label, Mane.

Far from slouching around during this sojourn, he has toured extensively as part of the rather more bombastic trio, Zen Death Squad, including a set at Los Angeles' seminal Low End Theory nightclub, whilst also contributing scores and sound design to various experimental dance theatre and independent productions

The return of Halogen signifies a move back into the delicate, slow burning chord sequences that made 'Baked' so eminently listenable. The evolution comes from a new found love of vocals, which in this case are provided by Ben Aizenberg. With lyrics formed from pulling words randomly from various books, there is a certain ethereal nature to the recording, giving it a strange duality of feeling both blissfully naive and painfully mature simultaneously. 

With his Zen Death Squad bandmate Mark Owens on bass duties, the feels like a more collaborative experience than previous Halogen work, elevating him from the ranks of bedroom producer to something more akin to a reductionist composer, who creates their vision by subtracting from many elements to create slight, and occasionally taut textures.

Never Again

About the song:

'Her Touch' - Track 4 from the collaborative album 'Dissolver' by Stumbleine Feat. Violet Skies. Released April 2014 on Monotreme Records.

Following the release of their debut collaborative EP, Chasing Honeybees, in February, UK producer Stumbleine (aka Peter Cooper) and vocalist/songwriter Violet Skies deliver their first full-length album, Dissolver.

In it, the duo continues to explore the fusion of Stumbleine’s electronic beats and dreamy, shoegaze guitars with Violet Skies’ soulful pop / R’NB vocals.

From the slow-burning soul of opener Thunderdome through the catchy melodic pop of Sunset Boulevard and Heroine, the propulsive R’NB of Her Touch and Whirlpool and the swirling shoegaze-infused balladry of One Step Closer and Sleeping Through The Day, Dissolver delivers a welcome progression to the pop genre that seamlessly blends classic pop sensibilities with modern R’NB, contemporary electronica and 80’s shoegaze indie.

The music still retains the trademark lush production that Stumbleine is noted for, with strong melody lines and compelling lyrics penned by Violet Skies.

With Violet now involved in the songwriting, Peter affirms that she’s given Stumbleine a face and stamped his music with her personality. “She makes the music stand out and has opened the door to a wider audience,” he says, “I’ve pushed myself much harder over the past year to create something a bit different”,

With Dissolver, Peter has added Violet’s vitality to the dreamy essence of Stumbleine and the results are breathtaking.

Violet Skies has recently launched her own solo career, with the recent debut of her first track “How The Mighty”.

Dissolver is available on CD and digital download formats from all good retailers and also as a 180 gm vinyl LP pressing of 500 (300 white vinyl, 200 black vinyl) which includes a free poster and an album CD in a printed card wallet inside.

French for Rabbits - Claimed by The Sea (PLAN Remix)

Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream,
and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes.

You would have every kind of pleasure, you see,
and after several nights you would say, "well that was pretty great."
But now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control.
Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be.
Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now.

If you awaken from this illusion,
and you understand that black implies white,
self implies other,
life implies death.
You can feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world,
not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.

What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.

- Alan Watts
