[For East of Monument/The Road To The Crater Double Album CD version head to the Hidden Shoal Store - http://store.hiddenshoal.com]

Before releasing music on Hidden Shoal as [The] Caseworker, Conor and Eimer Devlin, along with drummer Jason Lakis, made up slowcore trio Half Film. Their two acclaimed albums - East of Monument and The Road to the Crater - are now lovingly reissued by Hidden Shoal. With a sound mapped out so definitively, it’s difficult not to immerse yourself completely in this music’s shadowy topography.

Right from East of Monument’s languid opener ‘Weather Patterns’, it’s clear there’s a deliberate, measured and deeply rewarding melodic map unfolding, akin to classic releases by Codeine and Low. This aesthetic is explored, refined and distilled across the two records, and by the time The Road to the Crater’s finale ‘Themselves’ has played out, the special pocket of indie-rock that Half Film inhabited completely in the late ’90s has been revealed anew.

“Low-key underground guitar atmos that’s very moody indeed... Stark like Joy Division and darkly melodic like Neil Young - 4/5” - Melody Maker on Half Film’s second album, The Road to the Crater
