about

I love Halfway, they are my favourite Australian band at the moment. It’s a long way to go to Nashville to make a record that’s not very country, that’s what Halfway have done with this album, and more power to them, for following their collective heart. This is a record that as all good records do, takes a step beyond its predecessor.

I don’t know how you’d describe it generically. The more important thing is that It’s not very country, but a little bit. If Any Old Love was Halfway’s love letter to their deep roots in Rockhampton, this album is a calling card for their troubled adolescence there. It is a song cycle of bittersweet love that ends where you grow out of adolescence and fly the coop!

Clinton Walker - Author : Inner City Sound (1981), Stranded: The Secret History of Australian Independent music (1996) Buried Country (2000) Suburban Songbook (2021)

Produced, Recorded and Mixed by Mark Nevers at The Beech House. Nashville TN.

The SECONDS and THE SKY.
All the things in between, like memories
....those rivulets of time suspended.
Like dreaming.
