When you were little did you ever have a terrifyingly real irrational fear?
Something that your young fertile imagination had conjured up in the dark at night.

It could have started with a knock on the window during a windy evening, or a creaky floorboard from outside your door, which then manifested itself as something so much more.

Something that would haunt your thoughts and the very mention of it would send you into a panic.

Well, Garland from the Helmholtz Resonators was absolutely petrified of a certain confectionary mascot.....

This new song explains how a seemingly innocent and happy character that was created to spread joy turned into his worst nightmare

The Helmholtz Resonators vs ARTHR
Hold My Hand Very Tightly (Very Tightly) - ARTHR REMIX

JUNE 25TH 2021

A few months back the Helmholtz Resonators released their cover version of a long lost 80s pop song they found on a computer magazine cover tape.
It was a typically 80s flavoured positive pop song inspired by a certain Rick Astley.

ARTHR has taken the track and remixed it into a paranoid dark goth electro monster

Did you ever buy a new gadget that was so nifty you wanted to make a song and dance about it?

Well, The Helmholtz Resonators have done exactly that. Built from a Walkman, some "odds and sods" and more than a little ingenuity, the eccentric musician scientists have procured a robot to help with their chores and provide entertainments for the winter evenings. This charming droid has had such an impact that it has inspired their best work to date, a short song simply called Automaton which is set for release on 17/11/14.

Sounding like a cross between Tom Tom Club, Metronomy and the Human League; the mechanical marvel has been entertaining everybody it meets.

Heavily inspired by the ethos behind concept albums, the Helmholtz Resonators have created a repertoire of songs that are as eccentric as their image, touching on influences as diverse as The Residents and The Kinks to LCD Soundsystem and Hieronymous Bosch and picking up support from the likes of XFM’s Eddy Temple Morris, BBC’s Steve Lamacq and Gary Crowley, Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio Show, Timeout and The Independent.

“Sunshine is probably the best pop song of summer 2014, no debate. It’s the track that defines a season.”
Movies on My Mind

”…simplistic yet evidently obscenely catchy lyrics. There’s more than a hearty dash of Beta Band thrown in to the mix…“-
The Vinyl District

“It’s a feel good, psychedelic dance pop gem with some wonderfully woozy moments. The superbly catchy, Balearic tinged Sunshine is quite heart-warming with its languid, laid back charm.”
I Heart Moosiq

The Helmholtz Resonators are a renegade group of psychedelic time travelling audio scientists who have been playing and writing music together since the turn of the century. They studied acoustic science and the work of Hermann Von Helmholtz, being particularly inspired by his book On the Wires of our Nerves, essential reading for anyone interested in the science of sound and sound synthesis.

HELMHOLTZ RESONATORS - AUTOMATON

My ship is sinking. Steam ready to blow…
Thank God for time-travel. Where would we be without it? Just ponder on that for a moment. Now imagine you’re on a ship, and it’s going down. What do you do? Where do you turn? Who do you call? Fear no more as the Helmholtz Resonators come to the rescue, and then some.
Our favourite audio scientists have done it again, bringing you another instant classic with their latest collaborative effort, SHAKE THE VESSEL. Beautifully crafted, this 3-minute bump and grind of a funk-town spin-me-around hip-hop bustin’ mother-funker of a tune is guaranteed to get feet stomping, asses shaking and life-vests poppin’. But don’t take our word for it... well, no, actually, do. Do take our word for it.
Included on the release is a two part funk monster remix that goes deep into your soul and shakes your vessel to the core.
A summer smash awaits. 
Released on Genepool Records 15/7/16
