I'm sure the Summer is what the wind is blowing in today. Gusts of it.
Last night felt like a leap toward understanding what the next record is going to become. It's like looking back on the trail you've just climbed and you realize you have made it further than you thought you would. That's because our trail, this time, is very, very different than the one we're used to walking.
So, this week Rebecca and I have been trying to solidify a mid-tempo guitar track and last night I think we cleared the final major hurdle. I've been grasping for titles early this time so we don't end up naming things poorly in the end, but the only lyric I can hear well enough in this one is something about "the tipping point". Anyway...

- Halou
- "Simply one of the best bands in America"- KEXP radio "Proving their mastery of electro-organic music, Halou surface again striding light years ahead with their most compelling work yet" -Filter magazine "At times entrancing, effervescent, rousing, emotive, and ethereal, this trio leaps across musical boundaries with a truly transcendental album." - All Music Guide This year Halou celebrates 10 years as a band and returns with their most compelling work to date, Wholeness and Separation. Although It has been several years since their last release on Nettwerk Records ["Wiser" 2001], the band has hardly been dormant. The past few years have been spent using their production skills to help sculpt the sound of such artists as DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, Frank Sinatra, Blackalicious, John Cale, Low, No Doubt and even a Rod Stewart remix which hit #1 on Billboard. In addition, Halou has scored 2 successful award winning films "This Girl's Life" starring James Woods and "Quality of Life". Throughout all of this, the band has still found the time to create their finest album.
