We've been tracking the progress of London trio HÆLOS since witnessing their spellbinding live set at The Great Escape in May. Just a few short months prior to that take-your-breath-away performance, Arthur Delaney, Lotti Benardout and Dom Goldsmith had won the internet over with a single of the purest quality in 'Dust'. Fast forward to the present day - we're getting there, don't worry - and HÆLOS are happily betrothed to ace indie label Matador, with some stunning, febrile visuals for 'Dust' and a new track, 'Pray', now streaming online. 'Pray' itself is typical HÆLOS, really - and we say that as a huge tribute, because those sensual harmonies, adventurous beat patterns and elegant synth strings are wholly their own. HÆLOS are as singleminded and vibrant as any band in the UK right now. - DC
