Helicopters are Sizing Up the Distance (to where?)
The Helicopters ain’t a new band, although they had previously eluded my attention. They have been around since 2005 and back in 2006 they released their debut How to Fake Fall Asleep. Since then they have been touring around playing their indie pop tunes in the US (they originate from Chicago) and releasing their Walking to Be Looked At EP (2007). They have just announced that they have completed recording their follow-up album titled Sizing Up the Distance, which will be available (in the US) on June 27th. Until then give their electro-pop sound a go. I really liked their tracks which are prominently warm and happy, although their sound brings a number of bands in mind, which I won’t go into in order to avoid the usual (unfair) comparisons. During these hot summer days, I guess we all need some uplifting tunes to make our time at work go by a bit faster. So just hop on and let the Helicopters fly you away (even for a while)…
