The Helio Sequence

The Helio Sequence is an indie rock band signed to indie label Sub Pop. The band was formed in 1999 in Beaverton, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, Oregon and consists of Brandon Summers on guitar and vocals and Benjamin Weikel, who has also played for Modest Mouse, on keyboards and drums. The band produces an eccentric brand of electronica-tinged indie rock. To date, they have released two albums on Sub Pop, two on Portland-based label Cavity Search and a self-released EP. Their fourth album, entitled Keep Your Eyes Ahead, was released on January 29, 2008 by Sub Pop. The band's sound evolved on Keep Your Eyes Ahead, due in part to the singer damaging his vocal chords and then relearning to sing .
