Description
Release Date Friday 2nd October 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
Like its predecessor, 2015’s The Original Faces, the album maps a uniquely
intimate and potent vision of bedroom dream pop. Theirs is a shoegaze of
half-light and silhouettes, attuned to the shadowplay of melody, melancholy,
and undertow.
The record’s title is a refraction of meanings: a head in the clouds, a
severance, a fictitious landform jutting into the sea. The music is similarly
layered, both yearning and weathered, its edges blurred by years in the wild.
Lyrics of waves, storms, and escape further shade the songs in subcurrents
of desperation and beauty, tinged in the palette of the New Zealand pop
underground. But at its core Helen’s chemistry is one of warmth and release,
powered by the kinship of old friends in dark times.
