Video for "Battle Lines" by The Helio Sequence.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov 10, 2015) — An exciting evening lies ahead for the University of Kentucky and the Bluegrass as the Oregon dream pop duo The Helio Sequence comes to town. The Helio Sequence concert will begin 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Singletary for the Center for the Arts. Local band Idiot Glee will open for The Helio Sequence.
The Helio Sequence is a duo whose music can be described as indie rock, electronic and neo-psychedelic rock forming a high fidelity kaleidoscopic sound. The band consists of two members, Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel, who formed the band in 1999 in Beaverton, Oregon. The group is currently signed to the Seattle's Sub Pop Records.
Currently, The Helio Sequence is touring to promote their latest self-titled album. This is their fourth album with this record label; they have released seven albums total plus their debut EP in 1999.
The latest album is described as "A collection that depends upon an effortless kinetic energy. Crisscrossing vocals and cross-talking guitars and drums map a broad swirl of emotions. There's a delightful candor to The Helio Sequence an openness that is a rare and special feat for a brand about to enter its third decade."
