#12 – The Helio Sequence: Keep Your Eyes Ahead

With each record that it makes, the Helio Sequence sounds less like a duo and more like a highly evolved studio project, its ping-ponging, wave-cresting pulses of staccato rhythm taking flight one refrain at a time. – PopMatters

It’s a lot of sound for two guys (singer-guitarist Brandon Summers and drummer Benjamin Weikel), suggesting that every minute since 2004′s “Love And Distance” was utilized to perfect the pair’s already steady hand at soaring, addictive melodies, pleasant layers of guitar and keyboards, and clean, visceral drumming. – The Onion

This confident piece of work is like mannah from the heavens for college rock fans, freshening up loose, rhythmic song structures with a charming lo-fi aesthetic. – Billboard
