The stripped-down, experimental psych of Helvetia( hel-ve-tzia ) plays out like a series of snapshots:subtle, hazy, and gritty as hell. For their seventhalbum, the band has signed with Joyful Noise andproduced the most focused and inspired tracksof their six-year history. Originating in Seattle andcurrently residing in Portland, Helvetia began in theaftermath of the group Duster (Up Records). With theirnew album, Nothing In Rambling, Helvetia s soundhas culminated in a cohesive balance of familiar andexperimental. Self-produced by Albertini and recordedon a Teac 1/2 inch reel-to-reel 8-track, Nothing InRambling will be released September 11th on LP andCD, followed by a US tour with Built To Spill.
