* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.

The Helio Sequence "Can't Say No"

I just discovered The Helio Sequence, a duo from Portland, over on Myspace and really dig the tunes. They have been around for quite awhile (10 years) and have a new record, Keep Your Eyes Ahead, out 1/29 via Sub Pop. Apparently, right after the bands last release, Love And Distance, in 2004, singer/guitarist Brandon Summers experienced some vocal chord damage. Now recovered, Summers and drummer/keyboardist Benjamin Weikel (former drummer of Modest Mouse) have put out a new, excellent record that I can already guarantee will be on my "favorite albums of 2008" list.
