HÆLOS

So, i've been digging through a lot of the acts that i'm unfamiliar with that are playing upcoming festivals in Austin in the fall (ACL and Fun Fun Fun Fest), and i'm discovering that there is plenty of stuff i need to be paying closer attention to.  Take London's HÆLOS, an electronic pop band that feels like some mutant offspring of Massive Attack, Portishead, or any other number of like-minded artists from the mid/late 90's.  Count me as a fan.  Take a listen to "Earth Not Above" below and grab the EP of the same name from Matador.
