Release Date: 31st March 2017
Newcastle based band Twist Helix
are continuing in a fine British tradition of electro synth-pop trios with
mixed genders and a sense of the dramatic. Fronted by the charismatic Bea
Garcia Cisneros, Twist Helix are releasing ‘Pulse’ at the end of March and if
the idea of Blade Runner meets and electro version of Chariots of Fire gets
your heckles up then you’d better listen up. The pulse of the synth bass is
matched by the dramatic, Sioux Indian style battle song before we settle in to
something thoroughly encapsulating. Think Florence + The Machine at their most
dramatic, Depeche Mode but with a more sultry Kate Bush on vocals or Kimbra at
her genre pushing best. I can just imagine getting completely lost in an entire
set of tunes like this whilst dancing in a tent somewhere at a British festival
after too much cider and sunshine. The blend of steely Northeast electro-grit
and Latin influenced passion is utterly compelling and, most importantly,
wondrously unique.
