 | HALF ASLEEP The Minute Hours / Les Heures Secondes Label : Humpty Dumpty Year : 2025 Format : LP Style : Rock Availability : In stock Price : 22.70 € - BUY | |
| Description : | The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes is the sixth album of Belgian solo act Half Asleep. Recorded at home with friends, The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes took over a decade to bring to fruition. This is an ambitious album, more spacious and bold than its predecessors, often taking unexpected paths and detours. Built around Valérie's guitar and piano, Half Asleep's crepuscular acoustic universe is however still very much and recognizably her own. It is here augmented by a textured cello, a chorus of human voices, occasional dissonances and the dark turbulence of brass and reed instruments. Borrowing from film and classical music, as well as less direct influences such as 80s D.I.Y. post-punk, Brazilian music and even free jazz, The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes seeks out strong atmospheres. It speaks to us of cattle emerging from the mist, of the strata of intimate history piling up in our living rooms and of the magnetic call of electric pylons at nightfall. The 'hours' of the title – an homage to medieval ‘books of hours' – point to the album's narrative thread: each song is an exploration of what, whether minute or colossal, plays out in interstitial time – in that strange suspended time that exists between events. | |
