In an age where style is rewarded over content, cynicism inevitably becomes second nature. Passion and originality have given way to cut‑and‑paste songwriting and carbon‑copy imagery churned out for commercial mass consumption. All is not lost. There is a light that still shines. This is rock critic turned filmmaker shoegaze" movement of the early 90s with thunderous drums, thick‑grooved bass melodies and distorted guitar bliss. But elements of their sound transcend the genre. For one, the vocals – Jim's voice soars above these huge compositions with its emotive capacity, bolstered by heart spun lyrics: «There's more to life than death, moonlight in every breath and love is ocean deep/There are stars that you can't see, stars I swear we'll reach/You need me to lead — I need you to believe...» — «Our Secrets», from the band’s latest EP I'm Naut What I Seem. But their recordings are only the tip of a multi‑sensory experience that is HELEN STELLaR. Not to be missed, their live show has become increasingly powerful. In person, the music has room to breathe, to come alive with an encompassing quality that allows it to not only be heard but felt as well.

HELEN STELLaR's artistry comes from remaining open to all possibilities, long or short, make believe or real. With three EPs under its belt – The Newton EP, Below Radar, and I'm Naut What I Seem — HELEN STELLaR has laid claim to a brave and beautiful sonic niche combining the best elements of space‑aged electronica and legendary rock 'n' roll.
