Blog: SURFING ON STEAM

Ex-Slowdive mastermind Neil Halstead returns after four years with a new full-length,  Palindrome Hunches,  due September 11 on Brushfire. This B-side, entitled “Tennis for Dennis”, will be featured on a free seven-inch single that accompanies Halstead’s forthcoming album. For those still clinging to the idea that Halstead will re-emerge with his groundbreaking arsenal of effect pedals and expansive future pop a la Souvlaki , you should probably throw-in the towel. His new material is as folk-pop as ever.
