the late b.p. helium

the very fine, optical atlas,

has posted an interview with me discussing 6 of my songs.

check it out HERE!



the late b.p. helium is one bryan poole. maybe a man.

maybe a ghost. regardless of his state, mr. helium has made much music over the years within and out of the Elephant 6 collective. maybe you've seen his

credits on records by the likes of of Montreal, Elf Power, Great Lakes

or the Olivia Tremor Control. this helium has released two records

under his nom de plume so far to date. the first, kumquat mae,

is a piano pop pastoral piece in the vein of mccartney (the album)

and spritely as the floyd chancing upon a music box under a baking

southern sun. the second record, amok, plays like a jukebox on

genre random. once 60's pop, once 80's nyc no wave. oh maybe

some southern skynard meets the replacements. ambient thai mother

and child morph into a bubblegum bounce? sure thing. amok changes rooms and

moods, but retains the thread that is all elemental helium. the late b.p. helium

will be hovering. be sure to look him up.
