The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost by David Bartholomew
The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost features Mark Morriss (The Bluetones), Billy Reeves (theaudience) and Crayola Lectern (Lost Horizons/Departure Lounge).
The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost will play their first live show in 2022 after the release of their debut album earlier this year.
The auspicious occasion for the collective has been set for April 20th next year at St Pancras Old Church in London, their first chance to put Afters in a live setting.
“Most of the songs, whomever they were written for, are soaked in melancholy,” our review reads.
“The patient outsider of A Little Longer relies on an urbane piano as they hang around, whilst I Will Never Hurt is deeper within itself still, a glassy-eyed ballad with Alistair Strachan’s plaintive cornet raking the coals. This inward-looking bleakness reaches its apex on the desultory End Of Loneliness.”
“Having been asleep for such a long time, Reeves should also know about how the dreams he never had might’ve been. The shimmering music box electronica of Hangar Lane Gyratory System 4.44 A.M opens the prospect of a vision up; the closest neighbour to these imaginative vignettes throughout is the work of the equally self-inspired William Doyle.”
