    Recalibrated as a looser, more energetic band, The Helio Sequence has created a euphoric, career-defining album.

    Filled with some genuinely memorable moments The Helio Sequence show that if a band is open to experimentation and letting the light of the new day shine in, fascinating things can truly happen.

    The Helio Sequence has pared down its sound and vision without losing a molecule of its well-defined identity. [No. 121, p.52]

    Whether or not the pair purposefully aimed for such cloudless compositions, it's impossible to ignore The Helio Sequence's ideal arrival in spring.

    Summers and Weikel's talent and craft are all over The Helio Sequence, but this music is more than a bit short on inspiration, and the finished product sounds less like music they had a passion to create than something they were put up to--which is just what they tell us it is.

    It’s a reset of the odometer rather than a definitive statement of destination.
