Lerner on the Lawn – Hooked Like Helen

Hooked Like Helen’s sound embodies a unique vein of alternative music; dark lyrical themes of unresolved trauma and existential pondering provide a refreshingly authentic perspective. The rawness of Nikki’s voice pulls the listener through heavy subject matter on a vessel of commercially friendly sonic sensibilities. This stark juxtaposition of darkness and light creates a sort of musical chemical reaction that lingers on the mind long after the first listen. A lush universe of layered harmonies and intricately woven polyphony carry us through a chaotic and sad world view but leave us almost inexplicably with a sense of hope. The songs of Hooked Like Helen exist in a timeless, ageless vacuum in which melody reigns supreme.
