Talking about “Last Tango In Glasgow,” guitarist/vocalist John-Paul Hughes says: “Last Tango In Glasgow is a song about having to let go for the greater good but remaining thankful it ever happened. It’s the first song I ever wrote on piano and our old friend Bennie Torrance collaborated on the lyrics. I think we managed to capture something of that old, romantic, Glaswegian spirit. Shot on 8mm film, the video tells the story of someone dancing, alone, with their memories. We were on a band photo shoot in Glasgow’s Barras market one day and got talking to an interesting character running a stall.
He turned out to be an actor, David R Montgomery, so when Sophie Barrott told me her vision for how our hero should look, I knew exactly who to cast.’”

A masterclass in Cinematic Psychedelia, “God Intentions” is the third studio album from Glasgow outfit Helicon and out on April 28, 2023 on Fuzz Club. Their most ambitious and collaborative album to date, it was recorded at Dystopia, Glasgow with producers Luigi Pasquini and Jason Shaw, mastered by RIDE’s Mark Gardener and includes contributions from the Rhona MacFarlane String Quartet, Lavinia Blackwall (Trembling Bells), Mark O’Donnell (Tomorrow Syndicate), Sotho Houle (French avant-garde violinist) and Anna McCracken. Talking about the new record, guitarist/vocalist John-Paul Hughes says:
“‘God Intentions’ is inspired by my brother Gary’s story and a few other influences. It’s a journey through regret, redemption and resurrection. Our familiar darkness is there, but the record carries a fresh and uplifting positivity. I had a clear idea of how I wanted it to sound and feel long before it began. We’re so pleased we achieved it. We managed to hold true to the idea whilst allowing the string quartet, Sotho, Lavinia, Anna, Mark, Jason, Luigi and other collaborators the space to put their mark on it. The album art, by San Francisco-based collage artist Nina Theda Black, captures the depth and breadth of themes and sounds we brought together to create a kind of motion in your mind.”
