Press Reviews
Waves is a moody, ethereal, and atmospheric experience. We generally don't like to make such comparisons, but Halo Effect does remind us of Radiohead for all the right reasons. Traditional instruments are blended with sounds of electronica throughout smar tly crafted songs. - newartistdirect.com
Whoa. Just who is this Tom Herbers? He keeps recording these local Mpls. bands, producing CD's that sound better than most of the national crap I hear. Halo Effect is a modern guitar band in the best sense of the word. Sure you notice the obvious Pixies influences, with the quiet lulls followed by blistering onslaught, but Halo Effect seems to be a little more introspective than bludgeoning. A few more hooks might allow these folks to make a grab for the brass ring, but this disc does make me want to see them live. - Demorama
Halo Effect is a group with a lazy tension. The tunes here meander around as if they have a mind of their own. Reminiscent of the luminous, heavy bands of the mid to late 70's. Comparisons to Radiohead are not far from the mark, however that in itself limits the comparison. The band is very quiet even when they are in the midst of a flurry of passion. Halo Effect burn hot like a clove cigarette, and rise like slow motion smoke. This hometown quintet has big ideas, as well as the subtle charm to pull them off. The members of Halo Effect include... While the drums are dead on, there are two members that presumably switch from keys to guitar. This only enhances the oblique nature of this band. - T.Alexander. / Pulse 0 |
