Ital & Halal is the psychedelic new collaboration between shadowy producer Aurora
Halal and Planet Mu's iconoclastic Ital. Recorded over six months, each track is a
spiraling world unto itself, coursing between strobing club anthems and ephemeral
headtrips. It opens up with the propulsive "Ascension," its uplifting cosmic chords
colliding with insistent rhythms, then leads to the softer, dubby melancholia of
"Phase 2."
On the B-side, "The Thirst" weaves paranoid, spectral voices in and out of focus
against seedy, hypnotic techno. "The Day After" wakes up in the ruins of the night
before.
"The Day After" follows closely on a string of stellar EPs from the recently-
reinvigorated Lovers Rock, Ital's "Throbbing/Nodding," and Earthen Sea's masterful
drone/dub exploration "Mirage," as well as Halal's solo debut "Passageway" on Mutual
Dreaming.
Ital & Halal will perform their first and possibly only live performance Saturday
April 5th at The Bunker's presentation of Unsound NYC.
