Helmet Compass

From Copenhagen, Denmark comes Helmet Compass: A former-rockband, that has invented a modern mix of acid house, psychedelic rock and chill-out. With a maximalistic layer-on-layer-approach, the producer trio has recorded an album, that runs off in many directions: Bongo drums and guitar solos. Long hair and techno synths. Midi and tape delay. Sunshine and ecstasy. It sounds like the 90’s if the 90’s was now. The music video “Everything You’re Not” has just been released through VICE / Noisey, with the following review: “...the three bandmates spend all five minutes of the song just chilling on the couch, puffing on some insane-looking hookah against a backdrop of the kind of tropical drinks you’d find at a discount bar somewhere in Indre By. The vibe is tropical vacay in your head combined with 100% chilling in real life, which I guess makes sense considering the lyrics: when you’re singing about being wasted on cocaine and constantly bored, you’re probably sick of doing things like leaving the couch to socialize with the outside world. The song is mixed by Simon Littauer, who’s worked with the likes of Reptile Youth, and it’s this 90s-esque, acid rock anthem that immediately gets stuck in your head and refuses to leave. We’ll gladly take a mini tropical vacay on the couch to this.” - Polina Bachlakova / Noisey ecstasy rock - copenhagen www.soundcloud.com/hlmtcmpss
