I knew something was afoot when the same few reliable voices all started whispering the words Helpful People to me in unison, and it only took a few seconds of hearing Bugs From Below to know that this would be the latest Bay Area sound to sweep me off my feet.
Helpful People features the brilliant Carly Putnam (The Oilies/The Mantles) alongside the higher janglelord himself Glenn Donaldson (The Reds, Pinks & Purples/Vacant Gardens) and theirs is a whole ocean of chemistry to bathe in.
This first single from forthcoming album brokenblossom threats hits that same sweet spot that fellow San Francisco dreamers Flowertown so excel at; hazy and romantic, like the last embers of evening sun collapsing over the Bay.
There is something about this music from that place that just shimmers it’s way straight to my heart every single time, and with one gentle kiss of a song Helpful People already have me in the palms of their hands.
