Dec 17, 2013These four tracks may cry out for proper soundsystems and bear many of dance music’s hallmarks, but their lengths (they add up to nearly half an hour), discordant layering and meandering structures render them more suited to body listening than the dancefloor.
-
Dec 17, 2013It’s as direct and aggressive as any of Halo’s floor-orientated material, and shows that, while she may turn more heads with more compositional, vocal-driven tracks, Hyperdub and Halo can move into new areas, one where syncopated drum lines break for vintage warehouse rhythms and the chill-out room has been invaded by pianists and a house DJ.
-
Dec 17, 2013Culled and then cultivated from her live set, these tracks have the dance floor in their sights, but with a skewed focus.
-
Dec 17, 2013Like Halo’s previous work, Behind The Green Door coos the listener to listen often and closely, while instilling that sense of intrigue that unexplained mysteries leave you with.
-
Dec 17, 2013This EP, while a little inconsistent with the “usual” sound that a club record should have, speaks volumes of the deftness that Halo possesses.
-
Dec 17, 2013The Behind the Green Door EP contains some of the most comfortably weird grooves we've heard from Laurel Halo.
-
Dec 17, 2013Its framework and color scheme may possibly end up as just a passing diversion for Halo, but it will still remain a captious rendering of where her craft and human-craft could one day go.
