Two things you should probably know about Flights of Helios: they’re a drone pop/space rock band from Oxford, and Drowned in Sound and Artrocker have both given them their thumbs up. You can add Whisperin’ and Hollerin’ to that list too, because ‘Factory’ is spacious, atmospheric and tense.
With a nagging bassline and a vocal delivery reminiscent of Ian Curtis, ‘Factory’ paints a beautifully bleak postindustrial scene with heavy hints of Editors and Interpol. The track hits with a driving urgency, due in no small part to some energetic drumming underpinning a guitar line that’s by turns swirling and spindly. It’s dark, but music this good can’t fail to be uplifting.
