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. While songs from the band’s early releases spanned up to 7 minutes, even the longest, lushest, catchiest track on \u003ci\u003eKeep Your Eyes Ahead\u003c\/i\u003e (fiery anthem “Hallelujah”) clocks in at 4 and a half minutes, evidence of just how refined their craft had become. Vocals were recorded spontaneously in bedroom closets and living rooms, which may explain the haunting urgency you hear in Brandon’s voice, especially on the driving title track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by the band, \u003ci\u003eKeep Your Eyes Ahead\u003c\/i\u003e confirms in The Helio Sequence an energy and a range that continues to defy narrow categorization. Unapologetic pop and folk meld seamlessly to create songs that are bigger, more epic and polished than anything they’ve ever done. \u003ci\u003eKeep Your Eyes Ahead\u003c\/i\u003e is the sound of a band and a decade-old partnership that’s been invigorated. And that’s exactly how the songs will make you feel: invigorated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Helio Sequence","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":56177366958372,"sku":"ucy1788117230893","price":15.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56177366991140,"sku":"gaf1788117230894","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":56177367023908,"sku":"vno1788117230895","price":11.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/1263\/9268\/files\/keep-your-eyes-ahead-deluxe-edition_1.jpg?v=1788117236","url":"https:\/\/gowearus.shop\/products\/keep-your-eyes-ahead-deluxe-edition","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
