Helicon is an experimental neo-psychedelic rock band from East Kilbride, Scotland. Formed in 2009 by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes, accompanied by Laura O'Brien (keyboards), Steven Jamieson (bass) and Martin MacVicar (drums), the band is known for its blend of swirling psych-rock guitars, sitar, synthesizers, drone textures and influences from around the world, creating vast, cinematic psychedelic soundscapes. They have released several EPs and the studio albums Suburban Decay (2013), Helicon (2017), This Can Only Lead to Chaos (2020) and God Intentions (2023). Helicon then collaborated with American band Al Lover to record their fifth studio album, Arise, released in February 2026.
