“It is a swirling, kaleidoscopic mix of psychedelia, indie rock and electronica with a naggingly insistent edge that burrows in through your ears and then settles in your brain with no intention of leaving anytime soon.”

Trying to reach out

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:10:05 +0200

‘Trying to reach out’ is the fifth chapter of ‘a never ending tale’ by half past sun.

With this new 4 song episode, this online album moves into its second volume.

‘Attitude, money and so called fun’ sets the scene: a decade older but not wiser. And ‘So many faces’ one can not forget. ‘Fall’ comes to a haunting realization. Himalaya, a desolate place, where all turns white to the eye.

After the frontpage came the epilogue

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:14:17 +0200

‘After the front page came the epilogue’ is the fourth chapter of ‘a never ending tale’, and marks the end of the first volume of this online album.

So that’s it then; for whatever it’s worth: ‘I don’t mind’. And to put it right: ‘Never’, revisiting W.B. Yeats.
Time to announce ‘The end of an era (but denying it)’. One day we’ll get ready for ‘Stepping into the light’.

Make sure you had enough

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:36:00 +0200

‘Make sure you had enough’ is the third chapter of ‘a never ending tale’.

Beyond the reflections of the previous chapters, this episode kicks into higher gear.

‘Here I go’ strolls down the road where shallow boundaries fade.

‘What I usually hide’ rides on, solitary & sharp.

‘Cinderellas’ splashes into rioting disgust.

Oh well … ‘Start again’.

Shy one (firelight remix)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:39:13 +0100

Our releases are merely snapshots at a particular point in time of how we think our songs might be best played, arranged and produced to fit the mood of the chapter we’re releasing.

But a song has a life of it’s own and sometimes wants to wear a new jacket.
We’re happy to be their tailors.

The first song to receive a new garderobe is ‘Shy one’. The remix has a Depeche Mode feel to it and is less transparent and subtle than it’s first outfit.

We've got no tattoos, but we've got scars

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:33:57 +0200

‘We’ve got no tattoos, but we’ve got scars’ is the second chapter of ‘a never ending tale’.

Whereas the previous volume left options open, merely uncovering the ground for a fresh start maybe, this next 4 song episode takes a clear direction. ‘You say’ wakes up to the unarmed truth, ‘Blood on my shirt’ pushes this to a dead end. ‘Someday’ tries to escape, in vain. ‘Burn it down’ leaves nothing but a clear horizon, if any.

2nd on the left or 3rd on the right

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:54:00 +0200

2nd on the left or 3rd on the right is the first chapter of half past sun - a never ending tale.

The volume kicks off with Fishing Rod, a fresh setting for the journey - it’s all about to begin - but leaving no doubt: - some things never go away -. Shy one retakes the words of W.B. Yeats, setting sail to distant shorelines, confident but stumbling in Don’t get too close, leading to a time out: - Forget all - blank memory, getting ready for whatever is to come next.
