Palindrome Hunches (10th Anniversary Edition) vinyl

From his roots in Slowdive and Mojave 3 on to working with the likes of Seefeel, Neil Halstead has left a lasting impression on British alternative music. As a solo artist, he's returned focus to a more stripped down, folk-inspired approach, which was last explored on 2012's Palindrome Hunches. It's a heavy-hearted kind of singer-songwriter we hear on this beautiful album, echoing the work of the late Gravenhurst amongst others and nodding back to the sensitive sound of Nick Drake. It's beautiful and sad, like the best folk should be, and this reissue will be warmly received by long-term devotees of Halstead's work.
