HAL FLAVIN > Fly into the sun

A first french press release impression about the new HAL FLAVIN ep :

D’LAND  >> “Fly into the sun” by David André // 23th may 2008 //

… Quatre morceaux qui tentent d’allier froideur et sensualité, instruments usuels et électroniques, muscles et intellectualisme, légèreté et gravité, d’où ressort finalement cette impression d’un groupe, qui comme Icare, cherche à constamment élever le propos au risque de devoir se retrouver parfois face à face avec leur condition d’êtres humains faillibles.

HAL FLAVIN > First EP

     

 

Hal Flavin are a band who refuse to fit into the mould.

 

Hailing from the unusual environs of Luxembourg, Samuel, Mike & Marc bring a range of influences to bare on a debut EP which defies all musical expectations. They take heavy rock guitars, filter them through the electronic funk of Prince and Hot Chip and add some haunting new wave vocals to the mix just for good measure. The result sounds like D’Angelo dragging old Kraftwerk records into the 21^st century.

 

“We want to make pop music without being stupid,” says Samuel. And on first hearing the mellow synth stabs, the infectious bass and the raw vocals of UPLIFT you’ll know that’s what they have achieved. As experimental as Hal Flavin’s music is, there is no doubt that they can write some catchy tunes too.

 

The self-titled EP, to be released the 27^th of june ( Lili is Pi records / www.lili-is-pi.com ) over the main online music distributors (Itunes, Amazon MP3, Emusic, and many more) and through mail order at Lili is Pi’s online shop, is the first taster of an album due out in 2009. The surprise is that the EP will already be exclusively available digitally at Lili is Pi’s online shop starting from 17th of may.   

  

Hal Flavin have already been causing a stir across Europe, with radio play and festival appearances in Luxembourg, Spain, France and Belgium. With a sound which is so original, fresh and familiar at the same time, expect this European phenomenon to go global pretty damn soon. I suggest you get in on the ground floor and enjoy the ride. One thing’s for sure – Hal Flavin will make it an interesting one.
