Helm

Helm is the solo project of Luke Younger, one half of the London/Berlin noise duo Birds Of Delay and guitarist for avant-weirdos. Drawing equally upon noise and ambient elements, the music on Impasse illustrates Younger’s continuing development within the field of experimental electronics and drone composition. Utilising synths, feedback systems and effects, these two long-form tracks offer a dense mixture of blistering yet melodic walls of sound.
