Thursday 10.23.08: HELEN STELLER / SEASPIN / SHIRLEY ROLLS @ echo

Helen Stellar || Listen

HELEN STELLAR draws comparisons to London’s “shoegaze” movement of the early 90′s with thunderous drums, thick-grooved bass melodies and distorted guitar bliss. But elements of their sound transcend the genre. For one, the vocals Jim’s voice soars above these huge compositions with its emotive capacity, bolstered by heart spun lyrics: “There’s more to life than death, moonlight in every breath and love is ocean deep/There are stars that you can’t see, stars I swear we’ll reach/You need me to lead – I need you to believe…” – Our Secrets, from the band’s latest EP I’m Naut What I Seem. But their recordings are only the tip of a multi-sensory experience that is HELEN STELLaR. Not to be missed, their live show has become increasingly powerful. In person, the music has room to breathe, to come alive with an encompassing quality that allows it to not only be heard but felt as well.
