Artist of the Month-The Helio Sequence

I can't believe we haven't posted these guys yet!
Josh's friend, (also named Josh) told us about them last month.
They're signed to the Sub-Pop label so just recently perfomed at the Sub-Pop concert in Seattle (where they apparently rocked, according to Cam and kLav).

Their sound is unique in that they resemble various genres on different tracks. In some songs they have the "subtle vocal harmony, guitar riffs and mild rhythmic syncopation", similar to sounds of U2, while others have "mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation and repetitive melodic phrasing" (shout out to Pandora), similar to artists like Citizen Cope (not to get all technical on you!)

Fun Fact: They're from Portland.
