Heliopause

In a world increasingly dominated by noise and light and chaos and confusion, sometimes the most heartfelt - or violent - gesture is one of almost complete stillness. The ability to remain still at the centre of all things and observe the subtle machinations of that which surrounds us - sometimes a whispered word can be the loudest sound. The music of Heliopause encapsulates this sensation, music and words reflecting the ebb and flow of the tides, as layer upon layer combines to make a perfect sound forever. Heliopause are Richard Davis, Niall Harden & Chris McCorry. Based in Belfast they have performed regularly in various forms, electric to acoustic, in venues as random as art galleries, botanical houses and a freight container. Having been compared to American Analog Set and Mice Parade, their sound has been described as 'oddly overwhelming' ... with seemingly minimal effort they unleash the kind of haunting emotional devastation that can change lives. They have performed across Ireland and also in Berlin, supporting such acts as Wintersleep, Quasi, Gravenhurst, Frightened Rabbit, Uzi & Ari and New York’s Jeffrey & Jack Lewis. The released their debut 'Dark Matter' EP in October 2008, followed by 'Moment of Recognition' single in May 2009. They are currently recording their debut album for release in the new year with upcoming gigs planned in UK and Ireland.
