Portland alt-rock duo The Helio Sequence have released the second single off their fifth studio album Negotiations. “Hall of Mirrors” is something of a spiritual sequel to lead single “October”, but it takes the crashing cymbals, effervescent harmonies, and low, grumbling guitar and builds something far more life-affirming.

Negotiations hits stores on September 11th via Sub Pop. In support of the record, the band have announced their fall tour schedule, and you can check out the itinerary below.
