![]() The group hit on most of the album’s high spots and took some of their older tunes out for a spin to the delight of more versed fans. The Helio Sequence is a duo that can sound like a band with five members and at different places in a show take on the best aspects of a duo most notably, the ability to feed off the other’s energy more readily. This sometimes took away from the two setting a solid groove but that’s not their style in the first place so it affects little. Drummer Benjamin Weikel works through a laptop to produce most of the bass lines and some keyboard sounds setting a programed track off before the two get going on their live instruments. They'll always live on though, for you and I, and for a lot more who can't say no to The Helio Sequence.The live show lived up to the extents of the album, moving seamlessly from big rock songs to acoustic tunes, sometimes featuring a solo Brandon Summers serenading the crowd. Sadly pimpnerd88on, their last album was a sleeper, not a hit. ![]() These guys don't get enough credit but mark my words, the Helio will get their say! Wow! What a perfect song for the sensory overload times that we live in. The Helio Sequence Keep Your Eyes Ahead (2008) "'Big Jet Sky' is the second-to-last track and a final chance for the boys to play a breathtaking round of "how sincere can we be before it becomes self-parody, and how self-parodic can we be until it comes around to sincerity again?" Take in a deep breath, and then these lines: "Now is the time to make up your mind/ Now is the time to break these ties/ Now is the time to shut things down/ Now is the time to shut things down." Ringo! Ringo, wake up!"ġ. I always thought this song was tragic, but I guess now that I've learned the true lyrics, he still had a chance. The lyrics above was what's the most stuck to me, I honestly thought before posting this that it meant he decided to end it all when suddenly the person he loves comes back and calls for him again, but it's too late. I love this song, this was my first song from this band. When I heard you calling back to me again, yeah The Helio Sequence Keep Your Eyes Ahead (2008)Īnd I just about fell right off the balcony If I listen to Revolver and I find out there's not a song like this, I'll find your office and flick my finger on everyone present's forehead.ģ. Wait, this isn't a Pitchfork review criticism list. To be honest, I haven't listened to the album they're adamantly referring to in their review, but seriously, your review has been comical. What is up with the Beatlemania, Beatlechfork? Yes, I made an effort to make that rhyme. "Transistor Radio" mixes a hackneyed attempt at Revolver-era Beatles with modern British psychedelia. Or twist my mind in circles wondering which of us to blameĪ beautiful song for moving on, if you're heart's still broken, take this one for a spin. I never lay awake at night staring in my bedĪnd I don't think about your face or anything you've saidĪnd I don't think twice when someone says your name The Helio Sequence Keep Your Eyes Ahead (2008)ĥ. Not gonna lie, but I heard this song first, and I get all sort of attached with firstsĦ. More spacey(which The Beatles might have wanted before but it was the past so they couldn't achieve 320 kbps)Ĥ. And I like this more than the original.ġ. Now this song is actually a cover of The Beatles. ![]() Oh hey, it's reggae for the future! I've never been embarrassed for a musician when I listen to something, so I find it wonderfully weird that the people at Pitchfork are such empathists. "Just Mary Jane (Calypso)" is the first of many embarrassing moments on Com Plex, wherein the boys reveal how much they long to be the Beatles." Interesting lyrics, to say the least, but this being the bottom of the list must account for something, and that is I found this song to be overlong. When I started listening to this band, I only had three songs from them on repeat, and this one's one of them. Up to the stars and counting all the suns and all the moons Their most recent album is not a good one, not gonna lie, but I still have hope for them.ĩ. I really liked it, so I went to AMG and checked out more of their songs. I think it was in Jango, as with most of the great things I've listened before, the song "Keep Your Eyes Ahead" played. I only have 9 songs for this list but 10 is an even number, and even numbers are nice! I guess I'll talk about how I discovered this band.
