Hal Flavin was formed in Luxembourg by two revenants from Europe’s capitals and a ferocious indigen. The recipe of their music features electropop song structures and beats, modified samples, distillations of rock and a chunk of edgy synth-‐pop.Compared by some listeners to Hurts, The Talking Heads or Röyksopp respectively, their sound has a hybrid ambiguity that sets it apart.
A series of gigs in the UK, France, Italy, Benelux and the Czech Republic has earned them the reputation of a thrilling live band with fusional energy.
‘The Talk’
5-‐track EP released 29/04/2011
Laptops, mystical trees, heaps of cables, flickering synthesizers, langourous guitars at a half-
over funk party and bytes engaged in forbidden modification procedures – this seems to be the habitat where Hal Flavin have spawned ‘The Talk’.
It’s a fierce electro‐pop EP, self‐produced with friends, mastered by Mike Marsh at The Exchange Studios, London, and released on 29 April 2011 (digital 6 May 2011).
