Keep Your Eyes Ahead

This reissue celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Helio Sequence's landmark album Keep Your Eyes Ahead with a full remaster of the original album, plus a second album of demos, alternate versions, and outtakes from the same era. After three albums and ten years of touring and recording, The Helio Sequence (Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel) recorded their most dynamic, extraordinary album, Keep Your Eyes Ahead. It married the Portland, OR duo's signature layered keyboards and impossibly big guitars with crisp songwriting and a relatively minimalist approach. The finger picking on "Shed Your Love" is backed by exquisite strings and ambient noise, but Summers' serene, self-assured delivery remains front and center.
