Background

The title of Halloway was inspired by the character Will Halloway from the novel Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. Violet listened to audiobook version while on tour after her mom said it was "one of the scariest books she’s read, and one of the most well-written."[2] Violet described the album as "dark pop".[2]

Halloway was released in 2016.[2][3] Seth Earnest, who has worked with Tessa Violet since 2013, produced the album.[4][2][5]

Production

During Halloway's production, Violet listened to Taylor Swift's 1989, Troye Sivan's Blue Neighbourhood, and Halsey's Badlands; as well as pop playlists on Spotify.[2]

Alternate versions

Violet released a royalty-free B-Sides version through her second reward tier of her Patreon.[6]
