Indie pop/rock trio half•alive have released their third studio album, Persona, available to stream and purchase here today via Virgin Music Group. The bold, cohesive and compact body of work that touches on love, anger, longing, crisis and estrangement. Throughout 11 tracks, half•alive explore what it means to be human – how do personalities develop and how does the outside world perceive you. At the end of it all, they challenge you to answer the question – are you looking or are you seeing?
The creative lengths of this band know no bounds as they have teamed up with Ray-Ban for the video for new song “All My Love (Imperative)” filmed entirely on the new Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses – watch here “A consistent state of busyness is normal in a city like Los Angeles. We don’t know how to rest. We don’t know how to differentiate what we do from who we are,” shares Josh Taylor. “We are all guilty of responding to the simple ‘how are you?’ with a knee jerk ‘I’m good, I’m really busy’ to try and attach our degree of hustle to our self worth. ‘All My Love’ is poking at the idea that worth is downstream from work.
Fans will get a chance to hear these songs live on their Persona World Tour, produced by Live Nation, kicking off next spring. Full of top-notch production, incredible dance choreography, and unique arrangements of their catalog, half•alive is truly a band that you have to see live.
“I get warm, soothing chills down my spine when I’m around people singing in harmony. Whenever it happens I can almost see the voices twisting together, and molding into one beautiful thing lighting up the room. I think that’s why so many people are drawn to concerts. Whether you’re singing along with the band or just listening, there’s a certain magic in the room that gets shared by everyone there, “ shares Josh Taylor, looking ahead to getting back on the road. “We’re looking forward to feeling that at the shows next year. The high intensity, the introspection, the swaying, the absorbing and participating- it’s all creating a harmony.
Kicking off in March of 2025, this tour will travel around North America, stopping at iconic venues like Brooklyn Paramount, Marathon Music Works, South Side Ballroom and Hollywood Palladium with support from The Walters and mehro before heading overseas to a variety of cities throughout Europe and the UK, wrapping up down under in June in Australia.
Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning Tuesday, November 19 at 10am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, November 22 at 10am local time. For more info and tickets go to www.halfalive.co.
