Elle spoke with Catherine (vocals/guitar) and Adam Cooper (guitar), of Alison's Halo, about their brilliant compilation album Eyedazzler (1998), and their latest singles Happy and So Far Away. A dreamy, shoegaze sound is complimented by Catherine's misty vocals. Lyrically complex, the transportational 90-minute album is worth a listen from start to finish. And so is this interview, so listen back.
