The Helio Sequence is out now on CD/LP/DL worldwide from Sub Pop [link here]. The album was produced & mixed by the band at The Old Jantzen Building in Portland, OR and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound   What people are saying about The Helio Sequence: “The Helio Sequence has created a euphoric, career-defining album.” [9.2 / 10] - PASTE “...10 infectiously compelling tracks in 36 breathtaking minutes...Songs that would have been furiously epic on recent THS works are marvels of restraint in length and production, particularly the nervous slink of “Upward Mobility,” the elegant swagger of “Stoic Resemblance” and the thrilling pop insistence of “Deuces,” which all clock in at less than four minutes.” [Essential New Music] - MAGNET "...The duo’s latest is an ambitious, smart, and memorable collection of crisply produced clean-channel rock that shows all the newcomers how it’s done." [8/10] - FLOOD   “This collection of songs is lush and atmospheric, leaning heavily on layered, orchestral ambience rather than on the chirping indie-pop choruses of the band’s past. Album opener “Battle Lines” surges with melancholy, each note fraught with a moody pensiveness. It expands from there, as if the musicians are not necessarily expressing anything different, but expressing the same things differently. The collection as a whole is lovely and contemplative, building a certain feeling around the listener.” - Relix   “Stoic Resemblance” matches harmonious psychedelic chorus with a brisk krautrock pulse.” - Stereogum “”Stoic Resemblance” is among the most pop-friendly things the duo have put to tape. Of course, “pop-friendly” to The Helio Sequence takes the shape of more direct song structures and vocal hooks. Naturally, it’s all filtered through their signature kaleidoscopic filter, hitting a chord somewhere between gauzy and taut. At a tight three minutes, “Stoic Resemblance” shows The Helio Sequence at their most spontaneous and their most playful, which is not only a surprise turn from the studio-intense direction that’s long defined them with surprisingly fun results.” [Song of the Day] - KEXP “It’s a hit of catchy goodness with a funky bassline with a chorus of “oh na na nas.” It’s a bonafide jam.” [“Stoic Resemblance”]  -KCRW  “The Helio Sequence’s first eponymous album is their sixth, and symbolizes a creative rebirth of the Portland—by way of Beaverton—duo...“Stoic Resemblance” is the first of the results to come trickling in, and its groovy bass line, coupled with a 21st centuryinterpretation of CCR guitar and set behind Steve Miller Band-esque vocals, has us eagerly anticipating the other nine.” -Willamette Week   “A snappy and steadily groovin’ indie pop number…” [“Stoic Resemblance”] - Consequence of Sound “Arager by comparison, rhythmically reminiscent of Beck...It’s great to find the Helio Sequence upping their game, and being a little less stoic.” [“Stoic Resemblance”]  - Buzzbands  Tour Dates Oct. 07 - Ashland, OR - The Brickroom Oct. 08 - Bend, OR - Crow's Feet Commons Oct. 09 - San Francisco, CA - Independent Oct. 11 - Sacramento, CA - Harlow's Oct. 12 - Costa Mesa, CA - The Wayfarer Oct. 13 - Los Angeles, CA - Bootleg Theater Oct. 14 - San Diego, CA - Hideout Oct. 15 - Phoenix, AZ - Valley Bar Oct. 17 - Albuquerque, NM - Launchpad Oct. 18 - Boulder, CO - Fox Theatre Oct. 19 - Aspen, CO - Belly Up Oct. 20 - Salt Lake City, UT - Metro Bar Oct. 21 - Missoula, MT - Monks Oct. 22 - Boise, ID - The Olympic Oct. 23 - Portland, OR - Revolution Hall
