haunts - Alive (EP) (2015)
Today is a very special release day!
We are EXTREMELY proud to finally release ‘Alive’ - a 5 track EP by mine and my wonderful partner’s new experimental electronic/post-rock project called haunts!
For the last few months, we’ve been hard at work with these songs and we really hope you enjoy it! We were limited to very simple hardware & software but the end product remains very personal, and if you would, I would urge everyone to hear it as a full piece to fully understand it’s true content. Heavily inspired by film and writers/directors like Richard Linklater, Hayao Miyazaki & Charlie Brooker (to name a few), a cinematic approach is quite obvious while listening to our music.
“ haunts is a new collaboration, or duo, formed by Shannon Lawlor & Jenna Luna from Cape Town, South Africa, aiming to focus primarily on experimentation from a 'post-everything' perspective. Their first EP, aptly titled "Alive" is a 5 song offering based around existentialism, and was recorded with limited hardware, software & production skill, including internal microphones, guitars & digital instruments ”
