Halsted - Life Underwater

Halsted is the new brain child of acclaimed singer/songwriter Ryan Auffenberg, whose 2008 debut solo album "Marigolds" received national accolades in the press, college radio and placement on major network television. Returning with a new album and under a different moniker, Halsted's "Life Underwater" weaves a masterful patchwork of musical textures, ranging from wide-eyed, anthemic bombast to hushed, plaintive intimacy. 'Mellow power-pop in the vein of Matthew Sweet and Big Star, which obviously means we love them. Just try listening without bobbing your head' - Nylon Magazine 'A great debut reminiscent of the best parts of Wilco, The Church and Paul Westerberg...we can't wait to experience the trajectory of this band' - What's on the Hi-Fi 'In a world where self-awareness and self-promotion are too frequently the guiding lights of the underground, Auffenberg's true to himself honesty is a godsend' - Aversion 'A lovely, positively life-affirming jewel' - Jersey Beat.
