New Entry: The Helio Sequence Share New Track "Lost Images"

Portland indie rock duo The Helio Sequence have shared their new shoegaze track "Lost Images".

It is another preview track from their 'Sunrise Demos' album, which is only available when preordering their forthcoming self-titled album from Sub Pop Records before May 19. Pre-order it here.

About the track the band say: "This track was pretty rough/raw and we had a lot of fun making it. We were going to flesh out and redo the vocals, but the song sounded too much like My Bloody Valentine to us... so we weren't really considering it for the album and consequently never got around to finishing it."

The Helio Sequence Announce New Album, Stream "Stoic Resemblance"

Portland indie rock duo The Helio Sequence have announced  that they will release their new self-titled album on May 19 via Sub Pop Records.

This is the band's sixth album and their first since 2012's Negotiations, and was inspired by the "20-Song Game," a popular competition amongst musician friends in Portland. 

A press release explains: Songwriters would arrive in their studios at prearranged times and spend all day recording 20 complete songs. When they were finished, they’d have a party, listen to the results and talk about the process—of taking the good with the bad, of letting creativity push past constraint, of simply making music in the moment. Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel took the spirit of the “The 20-Song Game” to heart, and forged ahead writing a new record.

The tracklist for The Helio Sequence is as follows:

01. Battle Lines
02. Stoic Resemblance
03. Red Shifting
04. Upward Mobility
05. Leave or Be Yours
06. Deuces
07. Inconsequential Ties
08. Seven Hours
09. Phantom Shore
10. Never Going Back
