Halflives announce new EP ‘V’
HALFLIVES have announced a new EP!
Titled V, the upcoming EP from the French melodic alternative rock band is their brand new release and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via self-release. The news of the new EP follows on from April’s release of Vibe, which will also feature on the new release.
The title V hints on a story told through five tracks (V in roman numbers), all of which start with the V letter. Strongly inspired by TV and film and adapted into real life experiences, V intends to paint the inner fight between letting go and being a slave to one’s feelings. Singer/songwriter Linda Battilani not only wrote all of the songs, but also assumed an integral role in the EP’s production. Additional production, mixing and mastering were done by Elliot Polokoff ]CEMETERY SUN] on all tracks except Villain which was produced and mixed by Nick Goncalves [8 GRAVES].
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming release; Victim.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, vocalist Linda Battilani says, “Victim is about the obsessive feeling that you develop towards someone or something that you can’t have. Despite the fact that you know it’s bad for you, you always find reasons to keep pushing to the point that it consumes you. Even if you’re not given anything to feed on, every detail is an excuse to hang on and you find pleasure in a sort of morbid excitement. The music video highlights how you can find yourself being used by someone and do nothing about it, and the blood represents the suffering that comes with it. The fact that I’m the only character throughout symbolises how I’m the only one who could do something about it, but I can’t.”
