second EP The Velvet Face was released

On March 24, 2017, HalfNoise’s second EP, The Velvet Face , was released. Farro said that the EP doesn’t only “demonstrate the light heartedness of HalfNoise, but I think it also encompasses my own vulnerabilities musically and artistically. I feel like this EP encompasses the feeling you get from a full LP, but filtered through only 5 songs. This is definitely the most important piece of music, to me personally, that I’ve ever written or worked on to-date with HalfNoise. Not only was it special for me as an artist and writer but from my friends who played, collaborated, and shared with me in making something so special.” The EP includes a collaboration with Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams in the song “As U Wave”, band in which Farro returned the same month of the release of the EP, but still continue with Halfnoise. The songs “Scooby’s In The Back” and “French Class” began to be interpreted by Paramore on their “After Laughter” tours.
