-- By Eric J. Lawrence, KCRW Music Librarian and DJ
Portland, OR-based duo the Helio Sequence have learned to roll with the punches in the past couple of years. Singer/guitarist Brandon Summers damages his vocal chords? He just changes his approach and relearns how to sing. Heavy rains flood the band’s practice space? Move to a different, more private and larger one. Such dedication has granted them good karma, coming off a couple of acclaimed releases on Sub Pop and extensive touring with Keane. And now that they’ve got a new album finished you can hear how their evolution has changed their sound in ways that might have been hard to anticipate on the basis of their debut recordings over a decade ago.
