With their new album ‘Negotiations’ ready for release by Sub Pop on Sept 10th and a corresponding London show, we are happy to unveil the second single from Portland duo The Helio Sequence's stunningly beautiful new record.
‘Hall of Mirrors’ provides a further illuminating glimpse into this subtle yet touching record that that serves as a testament to the beauty, blessing, and excitement of a fresh start.

‘Negotiations’, the fifth full-length album written, recorded, and produced by The Helio Sequence, would sound different had it not been for a flood. In 2009, while touring in support of ‘Keep Your Eyes Ahead’, singer-guitarist Brandon Summers got an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night. Back home in Portland, OR, the band’s studio/practice space was under nearly a foot of water. Heavy rains had caused the building’s plumbing to overflow like a geyser. But Summers and drummer-keyboardist, Benjamin Weikel, were lucky: All of their best equipment was either on tour with them, or racked high enough off the studio floor to be spared (read more at Sub Pop).
