Helium

• Genre: Indie/Alternative

About

Certainly one of the most innovative guitar pop bands around, Helium consistently surprise you with fresh, engaging songs that are never passive nor formulaic. Led by Mary Timony's breathy, floating vocals and shimmering guitar, Helium is a band of fascinating contradictions and impressive restraint. Timony shrouds dark explorations of sexual obsession and bold statements of feminist politics in whimsical fantasy while the music creates palpable tension through tightly reined drones, carefully composed, visceral guitar work, and light drumming. Smart, engaging, and vital work.
