It Goes, It Goes (Forever & Ever) is the haunting, ambitious and spine-tingling debut album from Irish trio Halves.

The record was nominated for the 2010 Choice Music Prize (The Irish equivalent of the Mercury Prize).

The Irish Times Album Of The Week "a debut that works from its first moment to its last…music that belongs to the witching hour" ****

The Irish Independent "hauntingly brilliant" ****

Eleven songs were recorded live, in one large room on 2" reel-to-reel tape by Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor), Howard Bilerman and Radwan Moumneh. Guest performers on the record include: Amy Millan (Stars/Broken Social Scene), Katie Kim, Phil Boughton (Subplots), Canadian harpist Elaine Kelly-Canning, Irish Chamber brass and string players and twenty-seven members of the Kilkenny choir.

Bio: One of Ireland's most intriguing acts, Halves blend a vast range of instruments, acoustic and electronic, and guarantee an evocative, cinematic live experience. Their three releases to date have met with universal critical success, as well as earning them ardent fans from Tokyo to Seattle. Halves have developed their live show into something truly captivating; a mix of synched visuals, strings, brass, and electronics, anchored by soaring guitars and live drums. Broadly influenced, they craft intense, deeply resonant sound-scapes, blending a range of instruments - bells and glockenspiel one moment, the piano and accordion the next - over guitar crescendos, haunting strings and both acoustic and electronic drums. Theirs is a rich, multi-layered sound, ambitious, lush and cinematic.
