Helen Kelter Skelter (HKS) delivers an electrifying sonic experience with their latest track, “Best Friends.” Right from the get-go, the song hooks you with its intense energy and driving force. It’s a powerhouse of sound and emotion that’s bound to make a lasting impression.
In “Best Friends,” HKS takes a deep dive into the complex dynamics of friendship. It’s a subject they handle with nuance, acknowledging that while friendship can be incredibly rewarding, it also comes with its share of challenges. The song cleverly likens it to having a million dollars: undeniably great, but if you had a million one-dollar bills, it could quickly become unwieldy. It’s a metaphor that encapsulates the idea that while friendship enriches our lives, it can also be complex and burdensome at times.
Helen Kelter Skelter has spent a decade carving their path through the indie music scene, marked by the release of an EP and two full-length albums. Their self-titled debut in 2015 and 2018’s “Melter” showcased their musical prowess, earning them well-deserved acclaim. Alongside building their discography, they’ve actively participated in the local and regional music scenes, sharing stages with notable acts like Polyphonic Spree, The Sword, Dead Meadow, and many others.
The pandemic, like for so many artists, disrupted their plans, causing cancellations of scheduled shows and tours. However, HKS made productive use of this downtime, resulting in an upcoming EP slated for release in June on Tulsa’s esteemed label, Horton Records. “Best Friends” offers a tantalizing preview of what’s to come.
