More about the album
"Kind of delightfully bonkers really."
- BBC Radio 3
"Evocative art pop from the unlikeliest of sources, Euripides play Hecuba. Oracle Hysterical, a group made up of new classical and early music performers, has crafted a lovely and elegant album about a terrifying, savage tragedy."
- Brooklyn Rail
"The result is a work that is quiet and subtle, but dramatic, with a beautifully bittersweet indie-rock sound. 'Helen' translates the power and pain of a very old story into something that feels new and universal."
- Gabriela Tedeschi, Second Inversion
"Tracks elide and slide into one another, the band adding vocals to wall of sound, existential angst made flesh....it’s music you’ll cherish."
- Sherri Rase, Q On Stage
"...blend[s] ideas from across time and land into elegant tunes where serpentine melodies are cradled and cajoled by exquisite arrangements...features gripping slice-and-dice postproduction, with [Majel] Connery’s crystalline voice chopped into percussive phonemes amid chattering acoustic guitar zigzags and stuttering drums.”
