It's out in time for Record Store Day.

One of Dublin’s most intriguing acts, Halves, will release their first live album on April 21, in honour of Record Store Day 2012.

The band, an ethereal electro rock four-piece who employ electronic and acoustic instruments to create a hauntingly cinematic sound, recorded Live At The Unitarian Church last December.

The album, released on LTD Edition Clear 180G vinyl, will consist of tracks from their Choice Prize-nominated 2010 release It Goes, It Goes (Forever & Ever) and critically acclaimed EPs. It features members of 3epkano on strings, and Jennifer Evans on vocals.
