about

As Half, Jonny Gray crafts powerfully emotive, atmospheric music that transcends genres from ambient, shoegaze and post-rock and has been described as a "dense masterpiece" and "brilliantly atmospheric and imaginatively experimental".

Half began releasing music in 2015 with the single ‘Mind Laps’ - a storm disguised in layers of tranquillity morphing from organic guitars to arpeggiated synths and ever-developing beats swelling like a rush of endorphins through the bloodstream.

The debut album (and to date only long-player) ‘Here Lies Half’ followed in 2016, featuring many guest spots, most notably the enigmatic, presumed MIA, former Lo Fidelity Allstars frontman The Wrekked Train on 'Rest Easy'. Gray has also collaborated with former Mercury Rev multi-instrumentalist, Jason Sebastian Russo for a Galaxie 500 tribute album and a fundraising single with Scottish post-rockers Wozniak for internet radio station DKFM.

2019 sees Half’s first release since 2016’s ‘Soft Play EP’ which reached number 13 in the influential tastemaking Hype Machine chart, seeing him sitting on top of Katy Perry (digitally speaking of course!). ‘Cool Spot’ is a deliberate move into more electronic territory with nods to the likes of Tycho and M83 and is a homage to vintage school TV soundtracks á la Boards of Canada. Fans of Half’s earlier work will be pleased to hear that the rich textures which have become a hallmark of his sound have been preserved.
