Ghost Modern: Halsey announces debut LP ‘Badlands’, hits road with Imagine Dragons and Metric


As a rather excitable online music publication, we have a tendency to over state things. It happens. So here’s an understatement: 2015 has been the breakout year of Halsey.

The 20-year-old New Jersey native, born, Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, blew up the interwebs at SXSW by becoming the most tweeted-about artist at the Austin music fest, and just last month made heads spin here in town with a rousing performance at Boston Calling.

Following her acclaimed Room 93 EP and on the verge of hitting the road for a summer arena tour with Imagine Dragons and Metric — it comes to Boston’s TD Garden on July 1 — Halsey today announced her full-length debut album, Badlands. It drops August 28 via Astralwerks, and you can peep the details, artwork, and track listing below.

The digital pre-order is live now. Pre-ordering the 11-track standard edition unlocks two instant grat downloads—the single “Ghost” and never-before-heard “Hold Me Down”—while pre-ordering the 16-track deluxe edition also includes an instant download of “Hurricane.” Her official D2C store features a limited-edition deluxe box set featuring with original artwork by Halsey, the full 16 track deluxe album in a special package, unreleased demo songs on custom 7” vinyl, a map of BADLANDS, a custom lithograph from Halsey, button pack, sticker decals, and more. All pre-orders include a pre-sale code for her fall headlining tour as well. BADLANDS is an artfully constructed concept album, musically tracing a journey through a dystopia that may be how the future looks if you were living in the past.
