Helena Arlock is a solo artist from southern Sweden releasing her debut EP ‘Old Dirty Hound’ in spring on the new record label Red Olive. This debut is mixing strong beats with dreamy pop melodies, veiled by Helena’s irresistible voice.
‘Old Dirty Hound’ was recorded in ARTin Studios in Helsingborg. Helena was given free studio time in exchange for designing the studio’s website. The EP was produced by Gustav Haggren and Helena Arlock. As the website began to take shape, so did the songs you can hear on ‘Old Dirty Hound’.

"The musical mix is obscure, /.../
It is experimental without being over-complicated.
Several songs contain sentiments that both caresses and shakes you. 4/5"
-Magnus Ransheim, Helsingborgs Dagblad
"Helenas music ranges from spare, bluesy minimalism to full-bodied landscapes.
She blends a distinct acoustic sound with the occasional warped echo
to create exciting live performances."
"What I saw on her tour and was immediately drawn to was sparse, minimalist,
dark and moving. Just her voice, low and slurred, and her cello. "
"The epitome of introspective beauty. Creative in its experimentalism,
an audio picture shown with skill and meaningful intention. "

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music.”
ha no problem. and thanks I just picked upa guitar 3 months ago and started going at it.
I heard "Fragile Me, Fragile You" on this website called Largehearted Boy.com And i've been a fan since. Will you be touring the states any time soon??
