New Music - The Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead
Today, New Music focuses on the latest album from The Helio Sequence, which is out in stores tomorrow from Sub Pop Records.
- This is the fourth full length album from the Portland based duo
- Keep Your Eyes ahead is a much more pop based effort than previous albums, and is arguably their best to date.
Here are a few reviewers quotes about the new album.
- “The Helio Sequence’s fourth album, Keep Your Eyes Ahead, is impressive in so many more ways than a listener without background knowledge of the band would even begin to comprehend”. - Obscure Sound
- “Stripping its sound down enough so those well meaning but misguided comparisons to My Bloody Valentine should no longer be an issue, the Sequence resists the temptation to over-pile, overwork and overtax its songs. They’re simple, direct and deal a major blow to the notion that more power and more capabilities can solve any songwriting deficiency.” – Aversion.com
- “While the group stays grounded in pop songwriting, their music absorbs a demure and warm ambiance from soft keyboard textures, loose guitar lines and gentle but eerie, emotive vocals.” – Spin
