This Week's Download

Neil Halstead - Oh! Mighty Engine
Artist: Neil Halstead
Track: Oh! Mighty Engine
Recorded Live at Paste 11/20/08

Description: In reviewing the recent release Oh! Mighty Engine, Paste writer Kristina Feliciano described Neal Halstead's music as "sublime bedroom pop, all acoustic-based and velvet-vocaled, sincere but never strained, pretty and bittersweet. (See, in particular, “Queen Bee” and the title track, which are beautiful but disheveled—like a really attractive person with bedhead.)"

Here at the Paste Studios, Neil's live performance certainly fit that description, including the bedhead!
