The Neil Halstead Special
On this episode of Time After Island Time we meet a singer-songwriter from an island lying northwest of continental Europe. His name is Neil Halstead and Time Out (UK) called Halstead "one of Britain's greatest songwriters." NME said "the man is a legend." Towards the end of the 90's Neil started a band called Slowdive, after that band parted ways, he formed the band Mojave 3, at the heart of both of these bands was Neil Halstead a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist we feel very pleased to welcome as our special guest. Halstead decided to branch out on his own and record a solo album released on Brushfire Records entitled “Oh! Mighty Engine!” which will be the focus of this episode.
Neil Halstead’s album was recorded both in Los Angeles, California and in his hometown of Cornwall, England. According to Emmett Malloy, co-founder of Brushfire Records, “He surfed in the mornings and drank beer and recorded with various friends in the evening.” Malloy went on to say, “Neil is an old soul and his newest solo record is exactly who he is. Welcoming, warm, clever and kind.”
