Helms Alee Noctiluca Lyrics And Tracklist Genius In focusing on refinement and staying in their (atypical and highly individuated) comfort zone, helms alee have produced perhaps the strongest set of songs of their career thus far, driving deep into the varied sonic characteristics that make people care about this band. Helms alee formed in 2008 and is comprised of ben verellen on vocals and guitar, dana james on bass, and hozoji margullis on drums. they play a loose, groovy style of rust yielding metallic punk buttressed by arching supports of terse grunge and quivering sludge metal. It’s rare to come across an artist that can carry their distinct sound across such distances, but northwestern trio helms alee has already conquered that entire territory, and they’ve christened it noctiluca. noctiluca is low tuned, gritty and powerful. Between these three talents, helms alee features a wide range of potential – and noctiluca seems to capitalize on all of their skillsets at the same time without ever sounding crowded. on an album as consistently varied as this, the experience never seems to lull or get its wheels stuck.

By the time “play dead” arrives, with its fascinating, multi layered choir pieces near its end, the stage is well and truly set; in its opening moments, shows off the impressive agility and dexterity of helms alee. Noctiluca doesn’t see the alee three sailing too far from their home waters; the ear for melody and hefty rhythm section baseplate haven’t gone anywhere, and their penchant for dreamy, spiralling guitars has grown exponentially. Overall, this album fixes or reduces some of the issues i previously had with helms alee (particularly the grating shouted vocals, which are both improved and less frequent), but in general, i don't think it's necessarily a step up from sleepwalking sailors. Formed in 2007 in seattle, washington, helms alee is a three piece sludge, noise, amplifier worship band, currently signed to sargent house records. noctiluca is their fifth studio album, coming out three years after stillicide and will be released on april 26th.
