Fuzz Club Session: Helicon – ‘Il Bacio Di Giuda’

Exclusive video premiere of Fuzz Club Session: Helicon – ‘Il Bacio Di Giuda’!


Arriving off the back of this year’s ‘This Can Only Lead To Chaos’ LP, Glasgow’s Helicon are gearing up to release a Fuzz Club Session on December 18th and are today sharing the video for new song ‘Il Bacio Di Guida’, originally debuted during their live-streamed set for the Fuzz Club Isolation Festival earlier this year.

Recorded live at Dystopia Studios with their trusted producer Luigi Pasquini (Trembling Bells, The Cosmic Dead) and released on 180gm vinyl alongside a series of videos, the incoming Fuzz Club Session LP captures the band’s heady psych-rock sound at its finest: a far-out amalgamation of strung-out sitars, riotous walls of fuzzy feedback and cosmic synths that’s all bolstered by the live energy that the band are renowned for and has been impossible to justly capture on wax, until now.

As well as new cut ‘Il Bacio Di Guida’, out today, the session comprises tracks from their recent full-length, ‘This Can Only Lead To Chaos’ – ‘The Sun Also Rises’, ‘In The End’, ‘Sound of Confession’ (complete with a mesmerising piano intro) and ‘What You Love Will Kill You’ – as well as another new song, ‘Permo’.

Guitarist and vocalist John-Paul Hughes: “This is a song I wrote for the Fuzz Club Isolation Festival back in May. I thought most artists would be contributing something stripped back due to circumstances so I wanted to do the opposite and submit a new track that had all the energy and groove you’d expect from seeing us live. We’re usually very collaborative so that was my first time writing and recording every part on my own as we couldn’t get together. Luigi helped me out by chipping in with the lead synth part. The title is taken from the 14th Century painting by Giotto and translates as ‘The Kiss Of Judas’. The Fuzz Club Live Session is the first and only performance of the track by the full band to date.
