HALO DUST have announced themselves through the release of their breathless, debut single, HEROES.
Taken from debut album SINISTER ELECTRIC, out in 2023, the track showcases HALO DUST’s ability to infuse the futuristic spirit of Daft Punk with the expansive, psychedelic rock sounds of the likes of Zeppelin.
Having been together for some time, working as a live production team, collaborating with a who’s who of UK and Canadian artists, the trio of Scott, Trumpet Andy and Stef became disillusioned with the music industry. However, a chance late night, Jager-fulled meeting with Kasabian’s SergePizzorno, at the infamous Shepherd’s Bush haunt, Bagel Bites, changed everything.
With Jager coursing through his veins, Stef animatedly explained to Serge the music he wanted to create. Serge simply offered two pieces of advice, which remains a secret to this day; advice that set HALO DUST on the path to becoming the band they are today.
With the aim of exploring ideas around AI and inter-conscious communication, the band set about incorporating organic, live instrumentation with otherworldly synth soundscapes and thudding drum machine beats. Recruiting childhood friend Paul Da Silva, who’s impactful, soulful vocal provide another dynamic layer to the sonics, HALO DUST were officially born.
Thanks to a late night chance meeting, HALO DUST have created a sound they can truly call their own, and the world is all the better for it.
