Boa Howl


Boa Howl is the second studio album by Dublin band Halves.
It was released July 2013 through the band's own record label Hateistheenemy.

Recording

The album was recorded over two weeks at Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenburg. Guest vocals appear courtesy of Gemma Hayes, a fan of the band for some time. Canadian musician Elaine Kelly-Canning features on harp, and added string performances come courtesy of local Swedish players.
'Boa Howl' refers to a summit on a mountain in China dubbed 'White Boa Howl', which the band felt captured the surreal nature of the songs.
