ROUNDHOUSE | TV ON THE RADIO [Nicky J. Sims]

HÆLOS were busy to INSANELY busy during this year’s SXSW (playing over 10 shows around Austin). Spotify recorded the band at their camp during that hectic week and today it’s available for streaming.
“It’s a work full of cold atmospherics that capture a set of contrasts. It’s dense, immersive music that evokes the feeling of loneliness that only comes with a solitary walk in the early hours of the morning, when you may have no real place to come from or to go to. It’s deeply interior music, the kind of electronic record that marks the passage of time in its creators’ lives, and can send the listener down similar pathways. And at the same time, on standouts like “Pray” or “Pale,” the music and melodies burst out into colossal shimmers that grasp at something more ineffable, more cosmic, beyond the banalities of human experience of just another misspent Saturday night.”
Haelos, Empire Control Room, Austin, 18 March
