HELVETIA “GLADNESS 2001-2006 - VOL. 1-2”
Album review: From the melodic mind and atmospheric archives of the multi-instrumentalist Jason Albertini comes the two-decade-long project known as the super Helvetia (pronounced “hel-vee-shuh") that began its mythically sonic journey in sound and texture during a much simpler time and place in music as a whole.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Helvetia - "The Beach At The Edge Of The World"
Album review: The nuance and instrumentation, from shakers and analog synths to detuned guitars, disjointed drums, and electronic interference, all build the Helvetia blueprint, matching subtly and complexity in a way that has always rewarded repeat listens.

Helvetia, The Unknown.
Helvetia has a very particular love. Its music is often reminiscent of CAN and German experimental rock from the 70s. That said, it never borrows from electronic music (which is great!), except for an attraction for Martian sounds that really seem to be the work of a UFO. Helvetia is thus an 👽.

Flood Magazine Reviews “This Devastating Map”
Album review: Ultimately, the album wanes out as quickly as it arrived, offering an impressionistic feeling that you were visited by a ghostly spirit of a recent past time. Repeat listens are recommended, as they will certainly cement this particular album experience as one to be remembered for long into the future.
