Eight and a Half is an indie-rock supergroup made up of former members of the Stills – Dave Hamelin and Liam O’Neil – and Broken Social Scene drummer Justin Peroff. Though April’s self-titled debut on Arts & Crafts didn’t do too much to disassociate Eight And A Half from the coffee-table indie scene they came from, it did take a more electronic approach to groundswell indie than either of their parent acts. Theirs is instead an arty synth-driven pop focusing on vulnerable, flesh-and-blood melancholy and kaleidoscopic soundscapes.
