HALSTON! bills themselves as "a two-man, one-take Cosmiche American Disco & Western band from Boston, Massachusetts," but that's only scratching the surface. A nearly undefinable mix, the band really needs to be heard to be understood. "From Here to Here" is a beautiful dance song with a bit of old-school flair, and "Big Boy Car" pulls out plaintive vocals and a mean keyboard. "Gurl Grope" hearkens back to the girl-band songs of the 60's--but for the excellent twist of male vocals, it could be a just-discovered Shangri-La's song.
If you listen to nothing else, listen to "Terry Jive," which weaves futuristic noises into a jazzy ditty, through their MySpace page. It's far and away better than any of this summer's radio hits.
