“Helicon have become a mythical force in the UK underground over the last 10 years.” Shindig! Magazine

“Wow! Thoroughly enjoyable that” Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6 Music

Championed and supported by Gideon Coe and Deb Grant on BBC Radio 6 Music; ‘God Intentions’, Helicon’s third studio album was released 28.04.23 on Fuzz Club. Their most ambitious, collaborative and psychedelic record to date. Mastered by Mark Gardener (RIDE), collaborators include Lavinia Blackwall, Anna McCracken, a string quartet, French avant-garde violinist Sotho Houle and more.

Helicon was formed in 2011 by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow. Appalled by the mundane, mediocrity of mainstream music; rather than moan about it, they did something about it. “Channeling the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland and sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India with the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco”. Helicon has released 3 x singles, 9 x EPs, 3 x studio albums and 1 x Fuzz Club live session album.

Helicon signed to Fuzz Club in 2017. Their self-titled debut album was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow. They recently collaborated with Will Carruthers (ex-Spacemen 3 , The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, Dead Skeletons) for the hilariously profound, mind-melting single 'Im More English Than You, You C*nt!'.

HELICON is: John-Paul Hughes, Gary Hughes Graham Gordon, Mike Hastings, Mark McLure, Billy Docherty, Seb Jonsen.
