Dan Curhan It takes guts to start an album like these guys do with Happiness, but perseverance is richly rewarded! I wish they unleashed a bit more heaviness throughout, but 'tis a minor gripe - the haunting atmospheres and moody female vocals blended with an almost mathcore chaos create something incredibly dynamic, thoughtful, and unique. Favorite track: Happiness.

------

Recorded by Xavier Dromard, produced by Xavier Dromard and Stéphane Dupont, mastered by Brian Lucey (Ghost, David Lynch, Marilyn Manson, …) and illustrated by the disturbing artwork of David McCraven, Hollowed is an uncompromising album that continues to develop the band’s singular and spellbinding universe.

The 6 tracks listed on Hollowed depict a surreal, grotesque universe. Strange scenes are featured, in the far reaches of what defines our humanity. The calm is deceptive, the madness latent. Noise rock imbued with contemporary classical music, major cold burns come and pierce these landscapes, leaving irreversible alterations in their wake.

An album to listen to as a unique piece, as a polyptych, as a series of windows open onto a world to which we do not have all the keys, but which lets us glimpse at fascinating frescoes of unknown colors.

about

Helium Horse Fly image

Helium Horse Fly Liège

Experimental rock, venomous noise, progressive baroque hardcore, putting a label on this unusual band is no easy task. A crossroads that brings together diametrically opposed worlds and bridges the gap between extremes, led by a female voice at a cross between incantation and lyricism, Helium Horse Fly offers a musical journey that oscillates between tense breathing spells and cathartic violence. ... more

Track Name: Happiness
Somewhere in happiness
There's flowers on the ground
Tamed dolls held spellbound
And all the little kings drowned

What are these fuckers doing here?
What are these fuckers doing here?

Somewhere in happiness
Get fatherers off the ground
They're not happy birds
You're not a happy bird

Oh, the blood has not closed the deal yet
Oh, the blood has not closed the deal yet

Somewhere in happiness
Track Name: In A Deathless Spell
Take a look outside
Take a look outside
Electric

Take a look outside
Swarming

Erratic moves

Flying razor blades
Thrown at anytime

Take a look outside

Murk and dust
Would rather scrape my eyes
Than flow

Do you fight fire with fire
Or just sit there and burn?

The greatest view from a sky
Is the one of hell

Meeting the sun
There's no looking away
So much gas around
Track Name: Algeny
It's alright
There may be a little taste of bitterness
But it's alright

A beautiful end of the line
Prettily flawed

Chaos crushed

Pristine, are you not?
Virginal, are you not?

We welcome you
We welcome you

Relieved, are we not?
Relieved, are we not?
Track Name: Monochrome
Sitting in silence
Across the grey god
A wise man
Rising his crown
Smiling at dead waves
What should, what should we think?
And who shall we tell about what?

There's no lair
Under glowing skin
No hiding
Suppressed thoughts
On a noise therapy
The audience is sentenced

Let us be re-bored, let us be
Let us be re-bored, let us be

The grey god
Won't judge
The wretches
The acclaimed stars
To each wave
Its own weight

We will be re-bored, we will be
We will be re-bored, we will be

The white man is coming our way
The white man is coming our way

The white noise is fading away
The white noise is fading away

Sitting in silence
Across the grey god
A wise man
Rising his crown
Smiling at dead waves
What should, what should we think?
And who shall we tell?
Track Name: Shelter
Fixing daylight drilling

Drain harder
There's still something
There's still something out there
There's still something out there
Out there

Drain harder
Drain harder
