The Helio Sequence – Accessible Interpol

Can you imagine damaging your vocal chords so badly that you couldn’t talk for 60 days? Well, it looks like people who lose their voice come back to make great music. I sort of want to lose my voice now. First Feist, now The Helio Sequence. Although, i’m confident that I wouldn’t read 60 books in 60 days like singer Brandon Summers did.

Hit play.

Now then. These guys have three albums prior to “Keep Your Eyes Ahead,” none of which I’ve heard. However, thanks to Rob, I am now in love with “Keep your Eyes Ahead.” It’s got a Bob Dylan inspired style, but maybe not as folky.

I would describe it as accessible Interpol. And the crazy thing, it’s just two of them.

They blend minor with major, bring melodies out of nowhere, and his voice is just rad. Check out this NPR article as well. The minute I steal $7.90 I’m buying the whole thing.
