Lillian Driver
album review

Artist:
 Helios Eye

Title:
Lillian Driver

Label:
 None

Relase Date:
 February 2008


      Lo-fi locals Helios Eye nearly broke my heart last month when they announced via their MySpace that they were calling it quits. Thankfully they came to their senses a couple days later and reunited. The guys wasted no time getting the band back on track and less than a week after their sudden departure and swift resurrection, they revealed they had some new material to share.
      Their latest DIY release, Lillian Driver, is a three-track single that is something of a departure for the band, who until now have relied heavily on acoustic guitars to drive their psychedelic Americana sound. The boys go (somewhat) electric this time around and it works incredibly well. Each song is completely original and has something special to offer, both musically and lyrically. The title track stands out as possibly the best Helios Eye tune to date. The song is infectious; its chorus has been playing in a constant loop in my head since I first heard it.
     If this release is just a taste of what’s to come from Helios Eye, expect to be hearing a lot more about them in the near future. The guys really seem to be coming into their own and it won’t be long before people will start to take notice. The Lillian Driver single will be available on CD and 7 inch at the end of February. In the meantime, you can currently hear the entire release on their MySpace at www.myspace.com/eyehelios, which also has some of their older songs and a listing of their upcoming shows.
