Halasan Bazar

Halasan Bazar is the band of Frederick Rollum Echoff a norwergian musician located in Copenhagen (Denmark). Since the early days of the band, Halasan Bazar was warmly welcomed in France: in 2014 this reciprocal friendship leads to the recording of a mini-album in collaboration with Tara King Th called "8" and the release of "How To Be Ever Happy" in vinyl on Requiem Pour Un Twister. For "Burns", the third album of the band, they went to record in the same place as in 2014: La Gargouille in Chambon-sur-Lignon, a city known for taking an important part in french resistance. The place, famous in the area since the late 50s, is suiting well with the recording of those eleven well crafted songs with reminiscences of Syd Barrett or Donovan. You can almost catch the air of the Massif Central in the delicate and smooth acoustic guitars. Sometimes you even might think of a pastoral Velvet Underground song where the trees and rivers substitute to buidlings and fire hydrants. Helped by Arnaud Boyer (of Tara King Th), Halasan Bazar created an unique blend of folk-rock and psychedelic music with beautiful watercolor tones. Halasan Bazar songwriting on "Burns" is confident and accomplished as ever, a timeless and elegant lp and a companion for the rest of our existence.
