Halclyon High - Soul Slides Away

Add to My Profile | More Videos at www.halcyonhigh.com

Portland’s Halcyon High merges cinematic beauty, chaos, and human emotion into an otherworldly audio/visual experience. Formed by Roger Anderson in 2004, Halcyon High’s music is made up of pulsating guitar loops, hypnotic drones, and electronic effects with occasional vocals and customized video projections.

"Halcyon High makes deep, momentous experimental rock" - Download.com
