HÆLOS drop new single ‘Kyoto’ and announce new album ‘Any Random Kindness’ out 10 May

Listen to ‘Kyoto’ here

Following the release and touring cycle of their debut album Full Circle, the trio (Lotti Benardout, Arthur Delaney and Dom Goldsmith) returned home to London and immediately enlisted touring guitarist Daniel Vildósola as a full-time member of the band. He became a neutralizing force when tempers become frayed, and his classical background and technical prowess brought a new level of musicality to the band.

When approaching Any Random Kindness, HÆLOS reassessed their creative approach and conducted songwriting experiments – they would write a song in an hour, or finish a track and then completely strip it down and re-do it.

HÆLOS recorded Any Random Kindness with producer Orlando Leopard, and it was mixed by Matt Wiggins (Glass Animals) and Marta Salongi (The XX, Bjork). The latter part of the recording was tense, with many near breakups, however this process led to a new, optimistic perception of each other, and music that explored the push and pull of relationships. A new, increasingly dance-floor oriented direction to their sound emerged.

Any Random Kindness shows a newly developed HÆLOS: one that’s eager to push forward.
