Wouldn’t it be great if an artist's music could hold your hand through an anxiety attack and then help you laugh it all off once it's over? Well, that’s what Los Angeles-based artist Henry Hall’s music does. It is one-of-a-kind alternative pop. Featuring his captivating falsetto paired with his witty, idiosyncratic lyrics, Hall's music is self-deprecating and soulful, as if The Smiths met Prince. Underneath Hall's tongue-in-cheek language and moving melodies are alluring guitar and synthesizer textures, which compliment his infectious vocal harmonies in a way that evokes Grizzly Bear and Mac DeMarco.
After graduating from Wesleyan University in 2014, Hall moved to New York City to play live shows and craft My Friends Don’t Like Me, his 2016 EP release. The project garnered attention online and eventually landed a placement on the Judd Apatow-produced Netflix series, Love. His subsequent single, “Talk,” broke 1 million streams on Spotify in 2018 and soundtracked a Casey Neistat YouTube video that has over 10 million views. His next 2019 EP, Questions, Comments, Concerns, has a song featured on the final season of HBO's Veep. “Henry's new EP, titled Questions, Comments, Concerns, is an aural explanation of his anxiety and its contradictions,” says Paper Magazine in their feature on the aforementioned EP. “It is an event that you, for once, do not want to miss.”
Hall’s debut full-length album, Neato, scheduled for release in October of 2020, is a culmination of his disturbingly funny and catchy brand of indie rock. Each of the 13 tracks has a stickiness that creates a web of musical textures and lyrics that define and refine Hall’s style up to this point in his career. Stay tuned for single releases, virtual listening parties, live-stream performances, and tour announcements around the release of Neato.
