Black Helium
The Animals Are Coming
With this, their fourth album, Black Helium find themselves widening the parameters of their take on heavy psychedelic rock, with probably their most baked and hook-laden material to date. From the no-safety-net freak out of 'Return The Curse,' to the sawtooth groove of 'Up On A Hill,' 'The Animals Are Coming' LP is Black Helium at their most exploratory and focused. Recorded one sun-drenched week in late June 2024, this time at Axe and Trap Studios with Ben Turner (Hey Colossus, Part Chimp). 'The Animals Are Coming' is the band sweating it out in a room, fueled by "party foods "and vintage amps. Digging deeper towards the source, no matter how transcendent, no matter how dark. Black Helium are a psychedelic power trio, based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, they traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out psychedelia. Limited to 500 copies "blood & guts" red/black effect LP.
