It's been three years since The Helio Sequence's last album (2001's "Young Effectuals," on Portland's Cavity Search label). And that's three years too long. Finally and triumphantly, the Portland duo of Brandon Summers (guitars/vocals) and Benjamin Weikel (keyboards/drums) return with their third full-length, and first for Sub Pop, "Love and Distance." The time between albums has been well spent, logging several tours (Benjamin Weikel also lends his percussive skills to Modest Mouse, doubling the tour time)   [ read more ]

On their second album, the Helio Sequence essay a full swirl of two-man band sound, combining dense electric textures in which the voice is just another hazy element with atmospheric keyboards, guitar, and electronic effects. Indeed, the lyrics are about as hard to comfortably detect in the mix as they are to read in the sleeve, in which the type is so faded and the color scheme contrasted so that squinting is inevitable.

The Helio Sequence's first two albums were dense, exciting blasts of noise, melody, and electronic wildness that seemed to jump out of the speakers. Their third album, Love and Distance, is still fairly loud, dreamy rock, but the wall of sound has been pared back and the vocals have been brought to the forefront. Instead of dreamily floating along with the waves of noise, now Brandon Summers grittily shouts over the top. The guitars no longer howl and crash about; they are layered caref   [ read more ]
