Back in January as part of a Featured Artist profile on the band Helicon, I reviewed the digital release of their latest EP ‘Gehenna’. Thursday 23rd April sees the highly anticipated vinyl release through EXAG Records, whose press release states as follows;

“We’re glad to announce that Helicon (UK) recently record their 8th EP. On the past year, the psychedelic 5 piece band, performed shows in Europe, including dates with Dead Skeletons, The Warlocks, The Black Ryder, Dead Meadow, The Underground Youth and many more. The EP’ll be available (in digital and vinyl limited edition of 300 copies) for both mainland Europe and the UK this Thursday 23 of April”.

Back in October I wrote a review for the digital single release, ‘Making Plans for the End’ by The Microdance. They are back with a further cut from forthcoming album ‘New Waves Of Hope’, below is a slightly amended version of their press release;

“New The Microdance digital single release ‘We Meet In Dreams’, follows the critically acclaimed ‘Making Plans for the End’, reviewed here, and features Nicole Fiorentino (Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, The Cold and Lovely) on backing vocals and Eric Gardner (Iggy Pop, Morrissey, Cypress Hill, Tegan and Sara, Moby) on drums.
