Veriditas introduces unusual shapes and landscapes to the Helios catalog. Whereas
past songs have followed traditional structures - discernable bell curves with
beginnings, arcs, and ends - the focus here is texture and harmony. "I wanted to
explore emotionality within something more static." Synth-tones radiate and hum as
vignettes, often crisp and cloudless, other times smeared to a queasy Boards of
Canada-like unease. The latter burbles below the last moments of "Eventually" and
looms over the opener "Seeming" like darkness inching across a forest. Tracks cease
at will. "Seeming" fades just after a sliver of light cuts through the mossy pillars.
"Latest Lost" mists for just one minute. "Row The Tide" for two, hovering like a helium
balloon lost to the horizon. "Even Today" hangs above the snowcaps, suspended in an
upper arboreal sequence, as shimmering surges of static trace the treetops below.
