ou have released a few new songs on various compilations lately… When can we expect a new HELALYN FLOWERS release? We think that everything will be ready on early 2013. Yes, we released these two new songs («Before The Sunshine» and «White Me In || Black Me Out») to warm up audiences and reveal two different sides of the album…

(officially we reveal here its title: «White Me In || Black Me Out») moves somewhere in between the two but it’s different at the same time. We’d say that it’s going to be our darkest album, in which even the sweetest melody has something black inside. It’s not going to be a concept album like «Stitches Of Eden» was. Contrary, this time ‘mood’ is the key-word. It’s kinda cinematic and each note is an image and a scenario. Some song When hearing these new songs I titles: «Alkaline Twins», «Electric have the impression that the new Night», «Collide», «Tribes Of The album will be more upbeat, more Future»... electro and maybe a bit closer to the debut album than to «Stitches Image and design have always of Eden»?

ches Of Eden» sounded like our personal tribute to 80s sonorities (Punk, Wave, Pop/Rock, Goth or whether it is), consequently we visually marked the whole concept with a New Wave-like look, white backgrounds, lots of flowers, surrealistic characters etc. This time, you get Helalyn Flowers for what they are, for what their core really is. Less embellishments, more essence. Just like the record is meant to be. What’s on your planning for the next months? Firstly, the release of the album! Also, we’re thinking at a live-release including lots of bonus material (cover versions, unreleased, alternate mixes etc.). In the whiletime, we’re planning a European tour with our new live line-up.
