Helado Negro – Wish You Could Be Here


I’m not entirely sure how many Helado Negro albums there have been – maybe 10? – but I do know they just keep getting better. His latest PHASOR is “an homage to going outside again” and a “returning to life record” concerned with beautifully evocative, hopeful imagery like remembering what the sun feels like and letting it warm your skin. I saw some early spring flowers out the other day, and putting aside what this ultimately means regarding the rapid warming of the planet and ultimate death of everyone on it… it was nice; just like this album!

Helado Negro – Best For You And Me

Best For Your And Me is the third single to be unveiled from Helado Negro’s forthcoming album PHASOR, which is set to land 09 February on 4AD. And it’s a peach! Loose and languid but with just enough low-end growl to keep it anchored to the dusty earth.

Zenizen, Helado Negro – Drought

New York-based Zenizen’s new album P.O.C Proof Of Concept came out last week, and it is a hidden gem if ever there was one. Sitting somewhere between r&b, soul and experimental, it is at times hard hitting and immediate, others meditative, with warm chords and soothing melodies leading the way, as is the case on Drought. This track in particular actually came out back in April, but it’s currently sitting at eleven plays on YouTube, (eleven!), so like me, there’s a fair chance you missed it.

Helado Negro – Wake Up Tomorrow

The new album from Helado Negro is Sunday morning hangover vibes through and through, with both textures and slow-paced rhythms seemingly tailor-made to sooth and reassure. On opener Wake Up Tomorrow he enlists Kacy Hill for some gentle background crooning which alongside the ridiculously chilled drumming and strumming creates an atmosphere so completely, effortlessly relaxing it’s a surprise he got the rest of the album finished.
