'The Styx' (July 2025): "With The Styx, Halfway have delivered one of their most complete artistic statements - emotionally resonant, musically adventurous, and deeply rooted in the landscape of memory. it's a record that rewards slow listening and repeated returns". Nick Corr - Rhythms Magazine.
‘On the Ghostline, with Hands of Lightning’: (Sept 2022) "Ghost nets floating lost at sea are the core image as the band trap the power of memories and sing of Australian dreams and triumphs”. Tony Moore - The Sydney Morning Herald.
‘Restless Dream’ (Sept 2021) is a collaboration with Indigenous Elder Bobby Weatherall. It is based on his 30 years of work in repatriating indigenous remains and artefacts from around the world.
Both albums have received widespread critical acclaim. ‘Restless Dream’ was nominated at the 2021 ARIA Awards for ‘Best World Music Album’.
