Halmstad (Niklas angående Niklas) is the fifth album by Shining. It was released by Osmose Productions on April 16, 2007. A black LP edition was released and limited to 500 copies.

Several lines by Christina Ricci from the movie Prozac Nation were sampled in this album. Track 5 is an arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".

Track 1 starts with the beginning verses of "Antigonish", an 1889 poem by William Hughes Mearns:

“ As I was going up the stair

I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish, he’d go away

 ”
