艺人资料

Neil Halstead是出生在英格兰伯克郡的音乐人。在他十几岁的日子里就开始和音乐连在了一起，他结识了Rachel和其他一些志趣相投的同伴。二十岁不到的时候，他的第一支乐队Slowdive诞生了。在这支被认为史上最优秀的Shoegaze乐队之一解散后，他又和Rachel等人组建了之后在独立音乐界大名鼎鼎的Mojave 3。乐队第一张专辑发行后，立即吸引了4AD的关注并收为囊下。2002年，Mojave 3已经发行了三张相当成功的录音室专辑，此时，Neil Halstead似乎对他所理解的音乐又有了新的发现和尝试意向。在无处可去、一个人呆在录音室的两个月里，失恋所引发的创作灵感促成了他个人的第一张专辑《Sleeping On Roads》的诞生。把那些在Slowdive和Mojave 3没有机会表达清楚的思绪一一倾吐了出来。由此，Neil开始了个人和乐队的双向发展。08年夏天，他在Jack Johnson的厂牌Brushfire下发行了个人的第二张录音室专辑《Oh! Mighty Engine》。2010年4月，他来到中国，在部分城市进行巡回演出。

2012年9月发行第三张录音室专辑《Palindrome Hunches》。

2013年5月发行单曲《Spin The Bottle》。

2014年，他再次来到中国开启巡演。

Life and career

Neil Halstead (born 7 October 1970) is an English musician born in Reading, Berkshire, England. He's been hailed by AllMusic as “one of Britain’s most respected songwriters”, and Timeout magazine as “one of Britain's greatest songwriters”. The singer/guitarist served as frontman and primary songwriter for Slowdive (the legendary shoegaze outfit whose seminal studio albums include 1993’s Souvlaki, (co-produced by Brian Eno). After its 1995 breakup, Slowdive morphed into the Halstead-helmed Mojave 3 and released a string of highly celebrated records that merged jangly alt-country with dusky psychedelic dream-pop. In 2006 Mojave 3 went on indefinite hiatus, prompting Halstead to embark on an acoustic-driven solo career marked by an emphasis on British-folk-inspired melody and a love of surfing . An occasional drift into more whimsical territory prompted NME to rave ‘like Syd Barrett if he’d ever set foot on a surf board’. Halstead's first solo album ‘Sleeping on Roads’ was followed by 2008’s ‘Oh! Mighty Engine’, released on friend and fellow surfer Jack Johnson’s ''Brushfire'' label. Halstead's latest album ‘Palindrome Hunches’ was released in 2012 and was labelled as “An exquisite set of dark folk music” from The Times as well as being well acclaimed by ‘God is in the TV’, "Undoubtedly one of the finest British records released this year”.

Halstead has spent much of 2014 touring with the newly reformed Slowdive.

Halstead is now based in Newquay, Cornwall.
