Here’s what 4AD have to say about the record:

—————————————-
‘Seasons’, out in the UK on 17th June is the first proper release
from what is undoubtedly one of the most assured debut albums of the
year so far, ‘Sleeping On Roads’ by Neil Halstead.

Going back in to the studio to record this EP, Neil has (more or less)
carried on from where the album left off. Both ‘Seasons’ and ‘See You
On Rooftops’ are amazing alternate versions. In addition, you’ll find
the brand new tracks, ‘Sailing Man’ and a live acoustic version of
‘Between The Bars’, as well as an excellent Fort Lauderdale remix of
‘Seasons’.

Rising to the fore as one fifth of Slowdive before going on to form his
current band, Mojave 3, Neil recorded his first solo album last summer
back at his Cornish retreat (while the band took a break from their
gruelling schedule). Whether intentional or not, Neil pieced together an
album that captured the mood perfectly and got the critics raving. All
nine tracks shone with a laid back, almost stoned quality that helped
confirm not only Neil’s songwriting prowess but also his place on the
musical map. Here’s what the press have to say:

“Like finding a cosy spot on the coldest of days.” The FACE

“…could be summed up as gorgeous, melodic, woozy and wistful - yet
that still wouldn’t encapsulate its full beauty.” The Independent

“It’s probably the best singer-songwriter record I’ve heard released in
at least five years. His songs take that amazing dramatic path, leading
you from wallowing in sorrow to soaring in hope. Absolutely remarkable
and recommended to everybody.” Other Music NYC

“Neil Halstead’s triumph is that he makes it all seem so natural and
effortless.” The Fly

“…a darkly perceptive and compellingly wrought work of mighty, mellow
craft. Hauntingly beautiful.” Time Out

You can catch Neil touring the UK this June:

18th June - Nottingham (The Social)
19th June - Glasgow (King Tuts)
20th June - Middlesborough (Cornerhouse)
21st June - Bristol (Louisiana)
