Helium Angel delivers a cornucopia of melodic indie guitar-driven pop. Combining crunchy dissonant chords with merry melodies, Helium Angel renders a sweaty, yet sweet noise-pop confection. Think Rubber Soul-era Beatles meets the Pixies.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song days after my son was born, and thinking about my own achievements and disappointments I've caused my parents.
Lyrics
See what I brought you back from outer space: a bag of moon rocks and this basket case of an astronaut. I'm sure you're proud. Welcome home, enjoy the gravity. Hello mom and dad, it's your astronaut. I saved the Hubble Telescope, and now I'm hanging from this rope. Welcome home, enjoy the gravity. "Tell me son what is it like to pee in zero gravity? And are you going to marry and get a real job pulling teeth?" Tell me mom and dad, what do you want? 'Cause floating isn't falling and space is not an empty place. Welcome home, enjoy the gravity.
