San Diego-based singer/songwriter John Helix is relatively new to the music industry but his delicate approach is stocked with emotion and a craftsman like eye for melodic hooks.
We have the pleasure of premiering John’s single “This Used To Be My Home”—a heartbreaking lament accented by blooming harmonies and a ghostly delivery. The subject matter loosely tackles Helix’s growing detachment from his roots; losing grip on the familiar while sowing oats for the future. It’s a melancholy tone poem that suits the authors’ voice and vibe perfectly.
Helix’s album Chronic Happiness is sprinkled with folk, Brit pop, and country leanings while remaining stylistically cohesive. A find for fans of Elliott Smith, late-60’s Beatles, and other current bedroom impresarios such as Angelo De Augustine.
