Halfset

Halfset recently were both Choice music prize nominated and recipients of Irish album of the year in 2008 in the Irish Independent. Originally a vehicle for multi-instrumentalists Jeff Martin and Stephen Shannon, the group has now swelled to include harpist/pianist Sinead Nic Gearailt and drummer Cillian McDonnell. Debut album Dramanalog showed great promise and with last years "Another Way of Being There" Halfset have shown if not by accolades alone but by the music itself the sheer quality of their sound.

Meticulously crafted soundscapes for songs with every little nuance there to fill you with something…
Their music really is something to be experienced to be felt and nowhere better than live on that stage.

"This beguiling and beautiful album -- a collection of post-rock and electronica -- will have you reaching for such terms as 'widescreen' and 'cinematic'. Three years in the making, its 10 songs are meticulously crafted, not least a pair of standouts; Salmon and Prairie. The album is, by turns, upbeat and reflective but never less than ……..and it's the best Irish album of the year." Irish Independent
