Half Measure Channels the ’80s on New Single “1982”

Half Measure—the new project of Haste the Day’s Stephen Keech—unveils his ‘80s-inspired single, “1982”. The dreamy indie rock track was written while visiting family using a portable recording rig set up at his 14-year-old nephew’s desk, which just so happened to be the same one Keech had in his room as a kid. He elaborates:

I immediately felt nostalgic. The concept of the song jumped into my head, maybe because the whole house, neighborhood, and the desk I was sitting at all had this 80s vibe. I blended that with my actual experience at a school dance, standing awkwardly, breathing irregularly, and trying to talk to the girl that I liked when she was surrounded by her friends, all while I wore my dad’s tie.
