After a complete reshuffling of the original lineup, and a trio of dudes replacing three ladies, Jessica Numsuwankijkul’s The Heliotropes is set to drop sophomore LP Over There That Way – perhaps the band’s most consistent release, and a clear departure from 2013’s (much) heavier sounding A Constant Sea. With its feet firmly planted in a mellow psych rock aesthetic, the album expertly blends fuzzy and distorted guitar driven riffs, with Jessica’s ethereal vocals floating its way through the tracks. Over There That Way debuts July 15, and you can catch the band live at Trans-Pecos on August 13th with Palehound and The Lemon Twigs. – Olivia Sisinni
