White Chalk by Halls

There’s going to be a fair few column inches devoted to 21-year old South Londoner Sam Howard, aka Halls, over the coming weeks prior to the release of his debut album Ark (released October 15 on No Pain in Pop). In a nutshell, Howard makes cavernous, minimal, song-driven electronica, with deeply brooding, religious undertones (a signifier of his sonic ambitions rather than any firmly-held spiritual beliefs, by all accounts). It’s all rather stunning. Download album-taster White Chalk below.
