HÆLOS - Full Circle (2016)

Every generation has their own version of the blues, music that captures a sense of melancholia and provides a sonic reflecting pool for young lovers, old souls, and the eternally heartbroken. For their darkly shaded and radiant debut album Full Circle, Hælos have found their blues where others go to find pure, uncut joy: the dancefloor.

The London trio's version of a night out is a million miles away from mirror balls and sweaty bodies, their rippling electronic pop conjuring the exhilarating privacy of a cavernous club's dark pockets and the introspective comedowns that accompany rainy 5 a.m. cab rides. "It's the music you put on after the club," Lotti Benardout, who shares vocal duties with her bandmates (Arthur Delaney, Dom Goldsmith), states. "You can still feel that energy and euphoria, but it might bring you back to reflect on certain moments or memories."
