Like Blur, The Helio Sequence released a new track back on Record Store Day. Somehow I missed it, but that doesn't mean it's any less awesome. Reportedly a b-side off their forthcoming unnamed album, the song is called "Converter". No definite release date, but with the band's last release, the wonderful Keep Your Eyes Ahead in 2008, this track is quite a teaser to salivating fans and one that indicates we will probably be hearing the single sometime this fall, if not summer. Featuring the floating vocals and oscillating melodies of Brandon Summers and machine-like rhythm backing from Benjamin Weikel, "Converter" is what we've come to expect from The Helio sequence. Perhaps a sign that the band won't completely buck their sound like some bands this year. Take that how you will, but in this case, I'd be more than pleased to hear the band continue moving in a lateral direction. Keep Your Eyes Ahead was so good, they could probably release it in reverse and call it their new album and I would still love it. In this new song Summers says "We won't wait for justice" - no we won't, but we will certainly be waiting for their next release.
