“He’s the most exciting electronic artist around.” This Is Fake DIY
“Halls has already been responsible for one of our favourite releases of the year.” The Line of Best Fit
Electronic newcomer Halls has announced a brand new London launch show for the 'Fragile' EP in January 2012. Halls will headline at the Shacklewell Arms on the 13th January, with support from Shells and entry is free.
Halls aka Sam Howard will release the ‘Fragile’ EP on the 16th January 2012 via up and coming independent The Sounds of Sweet Nothing (Jewellers/ Gross Magic/ Unknown Mortal Orchestra).
The young South London artist also has a stunning video for brand new track ‘I Am Not Who You Want’. Utterly majestic and intoxicating, the delicate glitchy beats and cautious vocals find themselves fluctuating amidst the vibrant smoke-filled screen.

On the 'Fragile' EP, Halls further explored using classical instruments, such as pianos and strings, to move away from a primarily synth-driven sound to something grander and more dramatic, whilst keeping elements such as samples as an integral part of the music.
After several incarnations, the final version of 'Fragile' was developed and finished during the Autumn, which influenced the sombre tone present in the songs. Also featured on the EP is the use of clearer and more prominent vocals; a result of Howard's increased confidence in using his voice and a desire to make the songs sharper and urgent.
Established earlier in 2011, The Sounds Of Sweet Nothing is an up and coming London label and home of bedroom dreamers. Alumni past and present in addition to Halls include Au Palais, Tashaki Miyaki, Jewellers, Gross Magic, Whirr and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
