The Halo Effect – unveil final EP track ‘Shoreline’ (Broder Daniel cover)

The circle is closing. Today, THE HALO EFFECT unveils the fifth and final song from their highly anticipated cover EP We Are Shadows, released today. Each member of the band selected a personal favorite and classic track to reinterpret, and this last choice comes from drummer Daniel Svensson.

Svensson’s pick is a heartfelt tribute to Gothenburg legends Broder Daniel – their 2003 alternative pop anthem ‘Shoreline’.

Needless to say, THE HALO EFFECT have made the song entirely their own, delivering a powerful and emotional rendition where frontman Mikael Stanne once again shines, seamlessly blending clean vocals with his unmistakable growls.

Reflecting on his choice, Daniel Svensson comments:
“Broder Daniel were one of the bands that created the Gothenburg indie-pop scene in the late ’90s. There are several parallels to the ‘Gothenburg Sound’ — both scenes were driven by a strong DIY ethos and comradeship while gathering international attention.”

Tracklist:
1. How The Gods Kill
2. If You Were Here
3. I Wanna Be Somebody
4. Dance With The Devil
5. Shoreline
