THE HELIO SEQUENCE – Fri., June 26, 2015 – The Frequency

What people are saying about The Helio Sequence:

“Stoic Resemblance” matches harmonious psychedelic chorus with a brisk krautrock pulse.” - Stereogum
“Stoic Resemblance” is among the most pop-friendly things the duo have put to tape. Of course, “pop-friendly” to The Helio Sequence takes the shape of more direct song structures and vocal hooks. Naturally, it’s all filtered through their signature kaleidoscopic filter, hitting a chord somewhere between gauzy and taut. At a tight three minutes, “Stoic Resemblance” shows The Helio Sequence at their most spontaneous and their most playful, which is not only a surprise turn from the studio-intense direction that’s long defined them with surprisingly fun results.” [Song of the Day] - KEXP
“It’s a hit of catchy goodness with a funky bassline with a chorus of “oh na na nas.” It’s a bonafide jam.” - KCRW
The Helio Sequence’s first eponymous album is their sixth, and symbolizes a creative rebirth of the Portland—by way of Beaverton—duo...“Stoic Resemblance” is the first of the results to come trickling in, and its groovy bass line, coupled with a 21st century interpretation of CCR guitar and set behind Steve Miller Band-esque vocals, has us eagerly anticipating the other nine.” - Willamette Week
“A snappy and steadily groovin’ indie pop number…” - Consequence of Sound
“A rager by comparison, rhythmically reminiscent of Beck...It’s great to find the Helio Sequence upping their game, and being a little less stoic.” - Buzzbands
