Next year, Seattle rock trio Helms Alee will put out their third studio album Sleepwalking Sailors. Above, check out the LP’s simultaneously sludgy and sticky lead single “Tumescence.” Seriously, the band’s balance of trudging, Verellen-yelled verses and James and Margullis’ lovely choruses is staggering, but also catchy-as-hell.
