Halou–Wholeness & Separation (Vertebrae/33rd Street Records)

ELECTRONICA CD Halou, Wholeness & Separation

The third anticipated release from husband-and-wife team Ryan & Rebecca Coseboom, and recording engineer/producer Count, whose first two albums We Only Love You and Wiser were met with excellent critical acclaim. Some of Halou and Count’s production credits include Radiohead, New Order, DJ Shadow, No Doubt, Rod Stewart, RUN DMC, Lyrics Born and Blackalicious. Wholeness & Separation is filled with deep and emotive melodies, reminiscent of Portishead, U.N.K.L.E. and Massive Attack, with Rebecca’s soothing vocals gliding above the layers of shimmering soundscapes. —AZ
