Helium Angel delivers a cornucopia of melodic indie guitar-driven pop. Combining crunchy dissonant chords with merry melodies, Helium Angel renders a sweaty, yet sweet noise-pop confection. Think Rubber Soul-era Beatles meets the Pixies.

Story behind the song
Many people moved to San Francisco for the Internet gold rush. Most watched the illusion vanish before their eyes.
Lyrics
The city's worth in gold is not what it was when you came here With a college degree and a fix for caffeine, but it disappeared. Welcome to the gold rush of empty dreams. Did you really believe it was all that it had seemed? You miss your caffe latte, now you drink it black, that's a dollar twenty-five. That much closer to making the rent, one step closer to survive. Drive across the Golden Gate To pan for gold right here. Drive across the Golden Gate To watch it all disappear. You say you're self-employed, but the severance check has run dry. And all this paper money that brought you here is gone, so say goodbye. Drive across the Golden Gate To pan for gold right here. Drive across the Golden Gate To watch it all disappear.
