Top 10s for 2005: Kasper Find (PonyRec)

PonyRec has confirmed that the new Halph album "Ode to you" is finished and will be in the stores on January 23.

Esteemed NY-based producer Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Manic Street Preachers, Kashmir and Raveonettes) has been enlisted to work with Halph on their next album "Ode to you". Their label PonyRec says the material represents a "seemingly new positive approach" for the band and should be ready for release early next year.

Denmark's Halph has finished a new album and should be releasing it sometime around late August/early September via PonyRec.

When I first listened to "Answering machines" by this Danish duo, I was surprised to find out it reminded me of a lot of Fugazi with a touch of that Texas band Les Messieurs Du Rock. Really fuzzy, arty and haunting indie rock that my brother enjoys making art to. Singer/guitar player Thomas Nygaard's vocals are a perfect match for songs like "Bad wiring" and "Back door". Drummer Karsten Bagge's jazz-fused drumming provides a good backbeat to the above mentioned songs and makes "Evil one" almost danceable. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
