about

Made during continuous bouts of inspiration and experimentation between 2009-2010, this record is comprised of songs that were mostly monuments to living in the moment, then refining/ sculpting that moment out. This was also done during a period of transition. Moving away from basic songwriting and letting creative impulses inform the process - no fear!
This can also be defined as a reflection of an individual experiencing the end of a romantic relationship while pushing personal musical boundaries.

Armando Perez, operating under the moniker The Single Helix, wields his instrumental wizardry making Odd Czar (Dilligaf) an effervescent blend of trip-hop, crooked folk, and ambient bliss. “190” is airy and anthemic, reaching for the clouds from the same launching pad as The Postal Service. For some dreamy escapes, follow the advice in “Take A Moment To Yourself” and drift away in the perfectly arranged acoustic guitar, strings, and softly harmonizing vocals, or get lost in the hazy thump-and-bump of “The Fire.” (thesinglehelix.com)
