Guitarist and lead vocalist Tim Shea erects sturdy narrative windows into the depths of the doldrums of sad sacks everywhere. His vocals provide a brooding tongue-in-cheek compliment to the band’s rich songscapes, which are traversed by rugged guitar exploration and interspersed with infectious, off-kilter tonal depth. Can Keskin crafts sonic tendrils that add rich texture and compliment Shea’s distinct gesturing. Anchoring it all with bombast and determination, Mike Davis and Matt Nicholas lay down the slabs to hold it all up. Black Helicopter take no orders from passing trends instead, they clear their own wide swath. After a stint on Ecstatic Peace Records, they now embark on new mission to release a succession of smaller-scaled releases of various formats.
Deadlines for Deadbeats features Roger Miller of Mission of Burma playing the cornet on “Counting Eyesores”
