A Los Angeles duo blending atmospheric electronics with hard-hitting rock vocals since 2018.
For a good sense of their range, try 'When Demons Come To Life' for the heavy side and 'Last Dance' for something more atmospheric. Both show what they do well.
Halocene's sound lands somewhere between synthwave atmosphere and post-hardcore intensity, which gives their music a distinctive push-pull. Songs like 'When Demons Come To Life' with Lauren Babic show how they layer ethereal electronics under raw, emotional vocals. They've built a catalog that feels both cinematic and immediate, which explains why they've worked with collaborators like producer Illangelo.
Drew Dirksen and Michael Carvajal formed Halocene in Los Angeles in 2018, releasing their debut single 'The Mirror' with Violet Orlandi. They put out their first album 'Equinox' the following year, followed by EPs like 'Carillon' and 'From This Place'. A legal dispute in 2020 briefly interrupted their work, but they've since returned to recording with various collaborators.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
