Helen Island

A sign of the times, ghastly and hallucinatory – Helen Island creates alternative pop music that echoes late capitalism and the saccharine gaze of the digital world. The Paris-based cross-disciplinary artist – exploring painting, poetry, and other forms of conceptual art next to music – has a characteristic bedroom style of production, featuring filtered high notes, ripped samples, cut-up genres, and processed vocals. After self-releasing several cassettes and digital editions, with the ethos of the Simple Music.
