Biography

Hey, glad you've found us! Here's a bit of our story... Halfloves is a 5 piece indie rock band from eastern Iowa. Each of us found a passion for music in different settings and styles (classical, jazz, hardcore, indie) which makes for a collaborative and unique context in which we make music as Halfloves. We released our self-titled debut album in 2016 which was produced by Brandon Darner (prod. of Imagine Dragons, Dave Keuning of the Killers, etc.) After follow-up single "Wrong Songs" in 2017 we began working on our sophomore album "Dazer" which was released in 2019. Dazer was recorded at The Magic Barn, second life of famed NY studio The Magic Shop where David Bowie, Lou Reed, Bjork, Coldplay and countless other legendary acts made their music. Dazer's lead-off single "A Little Lie" saw some early success following a review from acclaimed music critic Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) in which he likened the sound to Radiohead. UK publication Far Out Magazine called the track "a woozy pop-noir gem". Along with longtime collaborator and director Max Moore, Halfloves created a music video for "A Little Lie" featuring actor Joel Murray (Mad Men, Shameless, Dharma and Greg, etc). In the early stages of development, the idea of stretching the video out into a short film was born which grew into an extended companion piece to the music video. In 2020 the 13 minute short "Backlash" was released which features an original soundtrack from Halfloves. www.halfloves.com
