Helen Jewett came together thanks to an impromptu school workshop involving a bucket of name tags. After a few rehearsals and some pub chats about the complexities of existence, the band began to dream and work toward a position they never dared to imagine for themselves. With a shared love for bands like Joy Division, Radiohead, and My Bloody Valentine, they started crafting songs that merged the genres they were most passionate about—post-punk and shoegaze—with touches of folk, electronica, hardcore, and ambient. Their poetic lyrics, reflecting on existentialism, nostalgia, and the turbulence of modern life add a profound and evocative layer to their music, inviting listeners into a icy and introspective soundscape. In January Helen Jewett will be releasing their debut-album 'Astrolabium'. Which is a cohesive collection of the bands diverse sound.
