Helicon announce new album 'Arise Remixes' out Feb 5th and share lead single 'It Won't Stop' Mogwai Remix (Barry Burns)'

Helicon & AL LOVER announce their new album ‘Arise Remixes’, due for release February 5th 2027 via Fuzz Club, and share the first preview: ‘It Won’t Stop (Mogwai Remix)’, reworked by Barry Burns of Mogwai Pre-order on LP in the Fuzz Club Stores.

When ‘Arise’ was recorded, Helicon, AL LOVER and producer Tony Doogan made a deliberate creative decision to bring electronic elements, beats and samples into the sound while keeping the feel of a band playing together. ‘Arise Remixes’ takes that collaborative instinct a step further, with the contributors given free rein to choose a song, pull it apart and take it somewhere new.

For ‘Arise Remixes’, Helicon & AL LOVER opened the songs up to a circle of friends, artists they have played or toured with, and musicians whose records helped inspire them. Rather than asking for variations on the originals, the brief was deliberately loose: pick a song, pull it apart and do your thing.

The project feels like a natural continuation of a collaboration that began with a remix and helped push ‘Arise’ towards electronic elements, beats and samples. “Since the HELICON X AL LOVER connection started with a remix it’s only natural to have this collaborative project head in that direction,” AL LOVER says. “I see remix culture as folk tradition through the lens of technology. It’s all meat on the same bone and I’m glad to have had this project be part of that lineage.”
