Halfaxa

Halfaxa is the second studio album by Canadian electronic music artist Grimes. It was released in Canada on October 5, 2010, by Arbutus Records, and in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe in May 2011 by Lo Recordings.

Background
While making this album, Grimes was making tons of music and most of the times the music reflected the opposite of how she felt. The album is mostly inspired by her time in Halifax, Nova Scotia while staying at her friend's home.

Composition
Halfaxa has been described as a goth-pop, witch house, dark wave, and glo-fi release, as well as featuring influences of glitch pop, R&B, techno, industrial, and electro. Grimes has said Halfaxa was created to "evoke the feeling of believing in God in a very Medieval Christian way", and has described it as her "medieval" album.
